Triomftocht van Julius Caesar 1599

Andrea Andreani’s “Triomftocht van Julius Caesar” (1599) depicts a triumphal procession of Julius Caesar. The artwork is a chiaroscuro woodcut, a printing technique popularized in the Renaissance. The image captures the grandeur and ceremony of a Roman triumph, showcasing figures carrying ornate vessels and a bull adorned with garlands, all marching towards a distant city. The work, held by the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates Andreani’s mastery of this intricate technique.
