Julius Caesar, Roman general and statesman, 1st century BC (1882-1884)
Julius Caesar, Roman general and statesman, 1st century BC (1882-1884). Julius Caesar (c100-44 BC) was one of Romes most capable generals, as demonstrated by his conquest of Gaul in the 50s BC. After becoming embroiled in the civil strife that accompanied the disintegration of the Roman Republic, in 48 BC he crossed the River Rubicon, took Rome and effectively became the first citizen. His presumed desire to abandon the Republic as a form of government and return to monarchy led to his assassination in the Roman Senate in 44 BC. After a painting on enamel. A print from La France et les Francais a Travers les Siecle, Volume I, F Roy editor, Saint-Antoine, 1882-1884

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Julius Caesar, a renowned Roman general and statesman from the 1st century BC. The image showcases his strong profile, adorned with a laurel wreath symbolizing victory and leadership. Mounted on horseback, he exudes power and determination as an equestrian conqueror. Julius Caesar's military prowess is legendary, notably demonstrated through his conquest of Gaul in the 50s BC. However, his ambition for political control led him to cross the River Rubicon in 48 BC, seizing Rome and effectively becoming its first citizen. This pivotal moment marked the disintegration of the Roman Republic. Unfortunately, Caesar's desire to establish a monarchy ultimately led to his untimely demise. In 44 BC, he was assassinated within the walls of the Roman Senate due to fears surrounding his concentration of power. The detailed engraving beautifully reproduces an original painting on enamel from La France et les Francais a Travers les Siecle volume I (1882-1884). It serves as a testament to both Caesar's historical significance and artistic representation during that era. This remarkable portrait not only immortalizes Julius Caesar but also reflects upon themes such as politics, war, leadership, and statesmanship. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of one man's impact on ancient Rome while contemplating timeless concepts that continue to shape our world today.
