Portret van Julius Caesar in medaillon binnen rechthoekige omlijsting met ornamenten 1594

Nicolaes de Bruyn's 1594 engraving, "Portret van Julius Caesar in medaillon binnen rechthoekige omlijsting met ornamenten," depicts the Roman general Julius Caesar in profile, wearing a laurel wreath. The detailed engraving is set within an elaborate ornamental frame, featuring cherubs, monkeys, and floral motifs. This work, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is an example of the Mannerist style, which was popular in the late 16th century. The intricate ornamentation and emphasis on the dramatic are characteristic features of this style.
