The Daughter of Ariovistus Made Prisoner by Caesar
by VINCENT, François-André, Oil on canvas, 46 x 53 cm
This rare subject is taken from the book of Bellum Gallico (Gallic War) by Julius Caesar (ca. 52-51 BC). The painting can be dated to the end of the 1770s when the painter was inspired by rare literary themes and painted from them several canvases with very free technique.
