This painting shows soldiers carrying banners and standards in a procession. The scene is part of a larger story about Julius Caesar's triumph. It was made to resemble an earlier work by Andrea Mantegna, which is interesting because it shows how artists borrowed ideas from each other. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of chiaroscuro.
