This engraving, created by Flemish artist Abraham de Bruyn between 1560 and 1592, depicts the Roman general Julius Caesar on horseback. Part of a series titled "Twelve Caesars on Horseback", the print features a detailed portrayal of Caesar, dressed in Roman garb and holding a staff, while riding a rearing horse. De Bruyn's masterful use of line and shading brings the subject to life, showcasing the artist's skill in capturing the drama and power of Roman history. The engraving, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a fine example of 16th-century printmaking and offers a glimpse into the enduring legacy of Julius Caesar.
