"Marc Antony before the body of Caesar". Oil on canvas signed Robert Seuffert, dated 1906 lower left.
Caius Julius Caesar was assassinated on March 15, 44 BC, the day of the Ides of March, in the curia of Pompey. This act was supposed to re-establish the Republic. On the contrary, it would contribute to establishing the Empire. The scene represents the consul Marc Antony presenting the remains of his deceased friend to a crowd heated to white heat by his pathetic eloquence. It is believed that he is holding Caesar's will in his hand, which would not be revealed to the people until March 20, five days later.
Original canvas. Very beautiful frame in the shape of a temple with fluted columns supporting winged lions. 145x110

Robert Seuffert is a painter of the German school, born in Cologne on March 28, 1874. Pupil of Gebhardt and P.Janssen. He painted many decorations for theaters, as well as altar paintings.
