EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the historic moment of Julius Caesar crossing the Rubicon, a significant event in ancient Roman history. The image depicts Caesar on horseback, leading his army across the shallow river that marked the boundary between Gaul and Italy. The artist from the English School in the 19th century masterfully portrays this pivotal scene with great attention to detail. The composition exudes a sense of determination and power as Caesar confidently takes this daring step towards Rome, defying Senate orders and igniting a civil war. The print is an illustration from Cassells Illustrated Universal History by Edward Ollier (1890), showcasing its historical significance. Through digital cleaning techniques, this version of the artwork has been preserved for generations to appreciate. Caesar's crossing of the Rubicon symbolizes a turning point in Roman history, marking his ambition to seize power and establish himself as dictator. This act ultimately led to his rise as one of Rome's most influential leaders but also set off a chain reaction that forever transformed the political landscape. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece from their collection without any commercial intentions. It serves as a reminder of Julius Caesar's audacity and impact on world history while highlighting Fine Art Finder's dedication to preserving cultural heritage through their extensive range of prints.
