Label TextThis print of Julius Caesar is based on a drawing of by Peter Paul Rubens (now in the collection of the Louvre) based on an unidentified sculpture bust. This version is dedicated to Prince Eugene of Savoy, a field marshal of the army of the Holy Roman Empire and engraved by Flemish artist Jan de Leeuw. It was likely part of a series of prints of Roman and Greek leaders.
