Triomftocht van Julius Caesar 1599

"Triomftocht van Julius Caesar" (Triumph of Julius Caesar), a 1599 chiaroscuro woodcut by Andrea Andreani, depicts the Roman general Julius Caesar riding in a chariot. The work is characterized by its intricate details, including the horse, the chariot, the figures in the background, and the numerous cherubs. The inscription on the chariot reads "Veni, vidi, vici," which translates to "I came, I saw, I conquered," a famous quote associated with Caesar's military victories. This print exemplifies the popularity of historical themes and the artistry of chiaroscuro woodcuts in the late 16th century.
