This photo print, titled "Plate 14: New Attack on the Old Fortress" takes us back to ancient Rome during the Batavian Rebellion in the 17th century. Created by Italian artist Antonio Tempesta in 1611, this etching showcases his incredible attention to detail and mastery of capturing historical events. In this scene, we witness a fierce battle as Roman soldiers launch a new assault on an old fortress. The fortification stands tall and imposing against the backdrop of a picturesque countryside. Archers skillfully aim their bows and arrows from atop the castle walls, defending their position with determination. Tempesta's artwork not only highlights the intensity of warfare but also showcases advanced siege technology employed during that era. A towering siege tower looms near the fortress walls, serving as a strategic advantage for Roman soldiers attempting to breach its defenses.

Each figure is meticulously rendered, showcasing Tempesta's ability to depict human emotion amidst conflict. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print serves as a testament to Otto van Veen's influence on Tempesta's work. It offers viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in ancient history while appreciating artistry that transcends time. Antonio Tempesta's "Plate 14: New Attack on the Old Fortress" invites us into an epic moment from Roman history—a visual journey through centuries past where bravery meets artistic
