EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled "Civilis Using Movable Wooden Bridges to Attack a Fortress," is a masterpiece by the renowned Italian artist Antonio Tempesta, published in 1612. The image is taken from The War of the Romans Against the Batavians, plate 10. The Batavian Rebellion, also known as the Revolt of the Batavi, was a significant uprising in the Roman province of Germania Inferior around AD 69-70, led by the Batavian chieftain Gaius Julius Civilis. Tempesta's illustration vividly depicts the decisive moment of the battle, with Civilis and his horsemen skillfully maneuvering movable wooden bridges to cross a moat and attack a fortress. The intricate details, dynamic compositions, and dramatic contrasts between light and shadow are characteristic of the Baroque era, showcasing Tempesta's exceptional artistic talent. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history and cultural exchange between Europe and the ancient world. The Batavians, a Germanic tribe from present-day Netherlands, were a crucial part of the Roman Empire, contributing to its military might and diversity. This etching is an essential addition to any collection focusing on ancient Roman history, European art, or the Baroque era. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is proud to exhibit this rare and captivating artwork, which invites viewers to explore the complexities of the Roman Empire, the Batavian Rebellion, and the artistic achievements of the Baroque period.
