EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching by the renowned Italian artist Antonio Tempesta, titled "Conference on What Steps to Take Upon the Romans' New Troops Approaching Across the Alps," was published in 1612 as part of his series "The War of the Romans Against the Batavians." The image depicts a group of concerned men in ancient Roman attire gathered around a map, intently discussing their next moves as they observe the approach of new Roman troops across the Alps. The scene is set against a backdrop of a turbulent sea and a stormy sky, adding to the sense of urgency and uncertainty. The Batavians, a Germanic tribe inhabiting the area that is now the Netherlands, had rebelled against Roman rule in 69 AD, marking the beginning of the Batavian Rebellion or the Revolt of the Batavi. This event was a significant moment in ancient Roman history, and Tempesta's illustration offers a fascinating depiction of the strategic discussions that would have taken place during this time. The etching is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Baroque era, with its intricate details, dramatic use of light and shadow, and expressive figures. The black and white medium adds to the image's timeless quality, making it a valuable addition to any art collection or historical exhibition. This print is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), located in Los Angeles, California, USA. It is a reminder of the enduring legacy of European art and the importance of preserving and showcasing our shared cultural heritage for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
