Jacob of Strasbourg's "Figures carrying standards and trophies: from 'The Triumph of Caesar'" (1504) is a woodcut depicting a procession of Roman soldiers carrying standards and trophies, a scene extracted from a larger work illustrating the Triumph of Julius Caesar. This detailed print, typical of the Renaissance era, showcases the meticulous depiction of figures and objects, highlighting the artist's keen observation of detail. Jacob of Strasbourg, a prominent artist of the early 16th century, expertly captures the solemnity and grandeur of the Roman Triumph in this miniature work. The print currently resides in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and stands as a testament to the artist's skill in capturing historical narratives through the visual medium.
