Andrea Andreani shows nine scenes from Julius Caesar’s Roman triumph. The first panel has Caesar riding a chariot. Trumpets, prisoners, and spoils fill the street. This is a woodcut, not paint or ink. Each block was carved, then inked and pressed. The shadows look deep because of a trick called chiaroscuro—light and dark carved into the same block. The crowd’s faces feel alive under arches. Check the sixth panel where a bull’s head gleams. Try the technique: woodcut.
