EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print takes us back to ancient times, depicting the apocryphal birth of one of history's most renowned figures, Julius Caesar. Created in the early 16th century and based on Suetonius' Lives of the Caesars manuscript, this artwork portrays a moment that has fascinated scholars for centuries. According to legend, Julius Caesar was born in 100 B. C. through a caesarian operation - an extraordinary surgical procedure for its time. The skilled surgeon depicted here is believed to be Gaius Julius Caesar himself, showcasing his multifaceted talents beyond politics and military prowess. The scene unfolds with a sense of anticipation as men and women gather around the mother-to-be. A midwife stands nearby, ready to assist in bringing forth new life into the world. In this prehistoric setting, we witness the arrival of a newborn boy who will grow up to become one of Rome's greatest leaders. While historical accuracy may be questioned regarding this specific method of delivery or even Gaius Julius Caesar's involvement as a surgeon during his own birth, this woodcut print offers us insight into how ancient civilizations perceived childbirth and medical practices. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Granger Art on Demand collection titled "Birth of Julius Caesar" it serves as a reminder that art can transport us across time and space while igniting our curiosity about humanity's past achievements in surgery, medicine, and obstetrics.
