The Triumph of Julius Caesar: Elephants Carrying Torches, 1593-99. Creator: Andrea Andreani
The Triumph of Julius Caesar: Elephants Carrying Torches, 1593-99. Commissioned by Duke Vincenzo Gonzaga, this series of chiaroscuro woodcuts reproduces Andrea Mantegnas Triumph of Julius Caesar, painted a century earlier. The scenes imaginatively portray the triumphal procession of the renowned Roman general and consul Julius Caesar following his successful defeat of Gaul in 52 BC. Each section of the continuous frieze shows elements typical of these parades, sanctioned by the Roman Senate and described in ancient texts. The printed suites frontispiece features a portrait bust of Mantegna, and the text below boasts that the famous paintings attracted many viewers. People who owned sets of these woodcuts often tacked them up to create a decorative frieze. Andreani issued the prints with a sheet of classical columns that could be cut out and placed between the scenes. Two fragments of these columns, coloured orange, still flank the fourth scene

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the remarkable woodcut series "The Triumph of Julius Caesar: Elephants Carrying Torches" by Andrea Andreani. Commissioned by Duke Vincenzo Gonzaga, these chiaroscuro reproductions beautifully capture the essence of Andrea Mantegna's original masterpiece painted a century earlier. Imaginatively portraying the triumphal procession of Julius Caesar after his victorious conquest of Gaul in 52 BC, each section of this continuous frieze depicts elements that were typical in these grand parades sanctioned by the Roman Senate and described in ancient texts. The frontispiece features a portrait bust of Mantegna himself, proudly introducing his famous paintings that attracted countless viewers. These woodcuts held great significance for their owners who often displayed them as decorative friezes, tacking them up to create an immersive experience. To enhance this effect further, Andreani included a sheet featuring classical columns that could be cut out and placed between the scenes. Two fragments colored orange still flank the fourth scene today. Heritage Art/Heritage Images has skillfully captured this extraordinary print with meticulous attention to detail. Through its vibrant colors and intricate designs, it transports us back to ancient Rome, allowing us to witness firsthand one of history's most celebrated triumphs – Julius Caesar's glorious march illuminated by majestic elephants carrying torches.
