The lavish “Death of Julius Caesar” was the first major independent work by Italian Neoclassic artist Vincenzo Camuccini. Accurately portraying Caesar, Camuccini (1771 – 1844) based his depiction upon a bust of the emperor. The painting depicts Caesar’s murder during a Senate meeting on the Ides of March, which a seer had implored him not to attend. Threatened by Caesar’s dictatorship, the Senate plotted his murder. In this painting, he may be reaching in disbelief for his friend Brutus, who had also betrayed him.
