EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 19: Men from the Fortress Surrender and Pledge Their Lives to Civilis This photo print, captured by Antonio Tempesta in the 17th century, takes us back to ancient Rome during the Batavian Rebellion. The image showcases a pivotal moment as men from the fortress surrender themselves to Civilis, pledging their lives to him. In this etching, we witness a group of soldiers on horseback gesturing towards Civilis with outstretched arms. Their horses stand tall and powerful beside them, symbolizing strength and loyalty. The men's faces reflect determination mixed with a hint of apprehension as they make this life-altering decision. The composition is masterfully executed by Tempesta, an Italian artist known for his intricate details and ability to capture historical events with great accuracy. Every line etched into the plate tells a story of war, rebellion, and sacrifice. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the turmoil faced by these brave individuals fighting for their freedom against Roman rule. It serves as a reminder of our shared human history filled with struggles for independence and self-determination. Antonio Tempesta's work has preserved this significant moment in history for generations to come. Through his artistry, he allows us to connect with our past while appreciating the courage exhibited by those who fought against oppression centuries ago.
