EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching by the renowned Italian artist Antonio Tempesta, titled "Cerialis Pardons and Relieves Roman Soldiers Who had Helped Civilis," is a striking depiction of an event from the Batavian Rebellion in ancient Rome. The rebellion, led by the Batavian leader Julius Civilis in 69 AD, saw the Batavians and other Germanic tribes rise up against the Roman Empire. In this image, Quintus Petillius Cerialis, the Roman commander sent to quell the rebellion, is shown in a moment of mercy as he pardons Roman soldiers who had previously fought on the side of Civilis. The soldiers, depicted as relieved and grateful, lower their weapons and bow before Cerialis. The scene is set against a backdrop of a bustling camp, with figures of soldiers and civilians milling about in the background. Tempesta's masterful use of line and shading creates a sense of depth and movement in the image, while the intricate lettering and detailed illustration of the soldiers' uniforms and equipment add to the historical authenticity. The etching is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of ancient Rome and the complexities of its military history. Originally published in Tempesta's work "The War of the Romans Against the Batavians," this etching is now part of the impressive collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of art to preserve and illuminate historical events, and invites us to explore the complexities of the past.
