FROM THE ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO’S CATALOG
Andrea Andreani’s Triumph of Caesar was available in several color schemes, including gray and orange. Each chiaroscuro sheet included a range of shades of a single hue, one for each tone block, which combined to give the final image a greater sense of depth and the appearance of a drawing. The set of woodcuts was issued with a title page showing Andrea Mantegna’s portrait and with a set of columns (lacking in this impression) to cut out and paste over the seams in the assembled frieze. The columns shown here are to-scale reproductions from the British Museum.
