EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Een Schip met coren gheladen blyft op een drooghte Sitten; de Duytschen pooghent naer hen te trecken, Soo oock de Romeynen: waer door eenen" transports us back to a significant historical event. Created by the talented artist Antonio Tempesta in 1612, it vividly depicts a scene from the Batavian rebellion led by Gaius Julius Civilis against the Romans in 69 AD. In this illustration, we witness a ship loaded with corn stranded on dry land while Germans and Romans attempt to pull it towards them. The image is accompanied by a fragment from Book IV of Tacitus' Histories on its back. Otto van Veen's influence is also evident in this artwork. The monochrome composition beautifully captures the intensity of battle and showcases the fortifications atop a hill where the conflict unfolds. This print not only serves as an artistic representation but also provides valuable insights into geography, literature, and historical concepts of war during that era. With its intricate details and masterful engraving technique, this seventeenth-century piece stands as a testament to Tempesta's skill as an artist. Preserved through time thanks to Philip Lisaert's efforts in Antwerp, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into ancient history and explore one of Rome's most challenging rebellions.
