Triomftocht van Julius Caesar 1599

"Triomftocht van Julius Caesar" (Triumphal Procession of Julius Caesar), a 1599 chiaroscuro woodcut by Italian artist Andrea Andreani, depicts the triumphant return of Julius Caesar to Rome. The piece features a procession of figures, including men carrying a large vase and a bull adorned with garlands. The composition is dynamic, with figures moving in various directions, and the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that emphasizes light and shadow, adds depth and drama to the scene. The work is now located in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. This print is a powerful visual representation of Caesar's victory and the power of Rome.
