EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: Plate 24: The Advance Guard of the New Roman Troops Turned Back, an Intricate Depiction of the Batavian Rebellion This black and white etching, created by Italian artist Antonio Tempesta in 1611, is a powerful visual representation of the tumultuous events during the Batavian Rebellion against ancient Rome. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this historical print captures a pivotal moment in history. The scene unfolds on a broken bridge spanning a mighty river, symbolizing both physical and metaphorical barriers that stand between opposing forces. A group of fierce Roman soldiers mounted on horses forms the advance guard as they confront their adversaries - Dutch rebels known as the Batavi. Led by Otto van Veen's artistic vision, Tempesta masterfully portrays tension and anticipation through his intricate detailing. Amidst this chaotic clash between two worlds, we witness courageous men engaged in battle with unwavering determination. The horsemen charge forward fearlessly while their counterparts fiercely defend their land from foreign invaders. This composition highlights not only the military aspect but also emphasizes geographical features like rivers which played significant roles during warfare. Tempesta's artistry skillfully conveys emotions and tells stories within each stroke of his etching needle. Through this masterpiece, viewers are transported back to seventeenth-century Europe where rebellion was met with resistance; it serves as a reminder of mankind's unyielding spirit when faced with adversity. Plate 24 stands testament to heritage preservation efforts undertaken by
