Emperor Caracalla ruled Imperial Rome jointly with his brother Geta, who he had murdered to ensure his position.\r\n\r\nThe scene is set in a room decorated in Baroque style, favoured by Louis XIV. The extravagant interiors seen here are decorated with drapery, figures and flower ornament. The ornamental style seen here is meant to recall ancient Rome, even though it is somewhat removed from ancient originals.","physicalDescription":"Print depicting the Emperor Caracalla killing his brother, with a large bed at the centre of the image and Roman soldiers at the left.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Le Pautre, Jean","id":"A15057"},"association":{"text":"artist","id":"AAT25103"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Leblond","id":"A15094"},"association":{"text":"etcher","id":"AAT25174"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[],"techniques":[],"materialsAndTechniques":"Etching on paper","categories":[{"text":"Prints","id":"THES48903"},{"text":"Royalty","id":"THES48899"},{"text":"Ornament prints","id":"THES49038"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2006BH8074","2012FK6695"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"LVLD","id":"THES49658"},"free":"","case":"EO","shelf":"86","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"print","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Paris","id":"x29068"},"association":{"text":"printed","id":"AAT53319"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca. 1670","earliest":"1665-01-01","latest":"1674-12-31"},"association":{"text":"printed","id":"AAT53319"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"23.4","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"30.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"L'emperor Seuere estant mort, Caracalla fit esclatter la jalousie quil auvit contre son Frere Geta, et l'assasina entre les bras de l'Imperatrice. \r\nI.I.e Potre in. et Fecit\r\nLe Blond excu","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":""}],"objectHistory":"The massively grand official style of Louis XIV was a version of Roman baroque, making much use of flower and drapery swags and figures.
