À propos de l’œuvre
In 1793 an English admirer of Camuccini ordered a huge painting of The Death of Julius Caesar, for which this drawing is a preparatory study. When the painting was finished in 1799, it was harshly criticized. The artist destroyed it and a new version followed in 1818 (now in Naples).
It presents the moment just before Caesar is stabbed, making it a representation of Republicanism.
