The artwork showcases the charismatic ruler seated upon a majestic golden throne, exuding an aura of power and authority. Created with meticulous brushstrokes and a keen attention to detail, the painting transports the viewer to an era of grandeur and historical significance. Caesar's visage is captured with great finesse, portraying him as a commanding figure with piercing eyes and a strong, determined gaze. His expression conveys a sense of thoughtful introspection as his eyes focus on an unseen point in the distance, suggesting his profound contemplation of his empire and the weight of his responsibilities. The artist masterfully captures the depth of Caesar's character, evoking a mix of wisdom, ambition, and strategic prowess. Dressed in resplendent white and red robes, Caesar appears draped in the colors symbolizing his status and authority.

The golden throne on which Caesar sits is a work of art in itself, intricately adorned with ornate carvings and embellishments. The golden hues shimmer and reflect light, lending an air of opulence and majesty to the scene. The throne symbolizes Caesar's reign and the immense power he holds over the Roman Empire, acting as a focal point that emphasizes his authority. The artist's skilled use of light and shadow accentuates the three-dimensional quality of the painting, bringing Caesar and his surroundings to life. The play of light highlights the contours of his face, adding depth and dimension to his features. The background, deliberately kept vague, creates a sense of spatial ambiguity, allowing the viewer to focus entirely on Caesar and his commanding presence. "Portrait of Caesar" is a masterful portrayal of a revered historical figure, capturing the essence of his leadership and leaving a lasting impression on the viewer. It serves as a testament to the artist's talent in capturing the spirit of a bygone era and evoking a sense of reverence for one of history's most influential individuals.

About the artists: Alexander Arkadievich Litvinov was born on May 18, 1967 in the city of Lubny. He graduated from the Lubensk secondary school № 1. One of his favorite lessons was drawing. I was even more attracted by studies at an art school, where boys and girls were introduced to high art thanks to the wise teachers Vasily Semenyuta, Anatoly Kharchuk, Nikolai Korablev, Tamara Moshnikoviy. Especially in his artistic development, Alexander owes to Vasily Ivanovich Semenyuta, his classical school of teaching, which he enriched in his time through his acquaintance with famous artists Alexei Asaulenko and Petr Likhin. And also an extremely important role in the passion for painting was played by the fact that Alexander's father, Arkady Petrovich Litvinov, was both a talented artist and an excellent teacher. He had 53 years of teaching experience - he taught drawing and drawing at the Lubensk school №8, many of his students connected their professions with artistic creativity. Alexander's elder brother, Oleg Arkadyevich Litvinov, a member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine, now lives in Odessa, also chose the artistic path.

And after leaving school, Alexander served in the army, where his artistic talent came in handy - in Soviet times, visual agitation was highly valued. He served in Dnepropetrovsk, where two personal exhibitions of his paintings were organized. While still at school, Alexander began to design books, in particular, children's literature. He received his first creative fee in the tenth grade from the publishing house "Raduga" for the design of the book by Anatoly Rybakov "Krosh's Vacation". Later she studied at the Odessa Theater and Art School, specializing in "Decoration of puppet shows and artistic and props art."

Studying at the school and passion from childhood with historical and biblical literature greatly influenced the creative manner of the artist. He works in the style of the so-called figurative art, where the main thing is the image of the human body.
