This chiaroscuro woodcut, "Sheet 4: Men carrying trophies at left, trumpeters at right, from 'The Triumph of Julius Caesar'" (1599), by Andrea Andreani depicts a scene from the Roman triumph of Julius Caesar. The artwork is a detailed and dramatic depiction of the procession, with men carrying trophies and trumpeters playing in the background. The artist uses strong chiaroscuro, a technique that contrasts light and dark to create a sense of depth and volume, to give the figures a sense of physicality. This artwork, part of a larger series, is a testament to the enduring power of Roman history and the skill of the artist, Andrea Andreani.
