Description

This painting depicts a powerful scene featuring the Roman Emperor Julius Caesar, a figure I admire for his military prowess and political influence. I’ve chosen to portray Caesar seated among his followers and soldiers, engaging in a strategic discussion that radiates authority and command.
In this moment, the figure on the white horse symbolizes an ally, adding to the intensity of a tense confrontation. My depiction of Caesar, along with the expressions and poses of those surrounding him, is intended to evoke a strong sense of historical gravitas and tension. I wanted to capture a scene that might be inspired by Caesar’s campaigns and his interactions with leaders from other regions, weaving themes of power, conflict, and leadership into the piece. The contrasting colors and vivid positioning of each character help heighten the drama, underscoring Caesar’s central role in the narrative.
