A Representation of an Ending Era For an interesting final project on the book, Julius Caesar, I painted a depiction of the tragic death of Roman ruler, Julius Caesar. I wanted to reflect the event in a way that would be both interesting to the imagination and the eye, so I used acrylic paints in many colors to add variation, contrast, and interest.
