Claudius Proclaimed Emperor is an oil on canvas painting by Charles Lebayle, now in the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts.
The subject set for the Prix de Rome in 1886 was the proclamation of Claudius as emperor in 41 CE as described in Suetonius's Lives of the Caesars (Claudius, 10).[1] Lebayle won his category with the work, gaining him a two-year stay at the Villa Medici in Rome.
