This is a details of the fresco of Giuseppe Cesari (1568-1640) and painted between 1612 and 1613. The fresco is located on one of the walls in the Palazzo dei Conservatori — one of the Capitoline Museum buildings.

I finally found some time to put up one of these picture of my trip to Rome.

No classicist was more political than Jacques-Louis David (1748 - 1825), whose Roman paintings helped fire the French Revolution.
