EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 28: Cologne Troops Bring Civilis Wife and Sister to Cerialis captures a dramatic moment in ancient Roman history. Antonio Tempesta's etching, created in the 17th century, depicts the aftermath of the Batavian Rebellion. In this print, we see a scene filled with smoke and fire as Roman soldiers escort prisoners towards their commander, Cerialis Quintus Petillius. The composition is intense and dynamic, emphasizing the chaos of war. The figures are skillfully rendered by Tempesta, showcasing his Italian heritage and artistic prowess. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the image, enhancing its emotional impact. The central focus of the print is on two female prisoners - Civilis' wife and sister - who stand out amidst the turmoil surrounding them. Their expressions convey fear and desperation as they are brought before Cerialis. This portrayal highlights both their vulnerability as captives but also their resilience in facing adversity. Tempesta's work not only captures a historical event but also explores universal themes such as power dynamics, conflict, and human emotions during times of upheaval. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time periods to evoke strong emotions within viewers. This particular print is part of The War of Romans Against the Batavians series held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Its inclusion in this prestigious collection further solidifies its significance within art history.
