Sheet 7: Procession, from "The Triumph of Julius Caesar" 1599

"Sheet 7: Procession, from 'The Triumph of Julius Caesar'" is a chiaroscuro woodcut by Andrea Andreani, a prominent Italian printmaker, from 1599. The artwork, currently held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, depicts a procession of figures, including women and children, walking through an urban setting. The scene captures the grandeur and spectacle of a Roman triumph, with the inscription "SPQR" (Senatus Populusque Romanus) visible on a banner. The detailed rendering of the figures, their clothing, and the architecture, makes it a testament to Andreani’s skill in capturing the dynamism and spectacle of a historical event.
