Description
English: Julius Caesar was assassinated in Rome on the Ides of March (March 15), 44 BC. Characteristically, Gérôme has depicted not the incident itself, but its immediate aftermath. The illusion of reality that Gérôme imparted to his paintings with his smooth, polished technique led one critic to comment, "If photography had existed in Caesar's day, one could believe that the picture was painted from a photograph taken on the spot at the very moment of the catastrophe."
Italiano: Giulio Cesare è stato assassinato a Roma alle Idi di Marzo (15 Marzo 15), 44 a.C. Gérôme dipinse non il fatto in se, ma i momenti immediatamente seguenti. L'illusione di realtà che Gérôme infonde ai suoi dipinti con la propria tecnica morbida e pulita portò alcuni critici a commentare, "Se la fotografia fosse esistita al tempo di Cesare, si potrebbe credere che il quadro fosse dipinto in base alla foto presa sul luogo nel momento della catastrofe."
