EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Plate 36: Civilis and Cerialis Meet on a Broken Bridge to Reach an Accord" takes us back to ancient Rome during the Batavian Rebellion. Antonio Tempesta, an Italian artist from the 17th century, skillfully captures this pivotal moment in history with his etching. In this scene, we witness the meeting between two influential figures - Civilis and Cerialis. The broken bridge symbolizes the divide between their opposing factions as they strive to find common ground and reach an accord. The tension is palpable as both men stand atop their horses, surrounded by a breathtaking landscape that showcases Otto van Veen's mastery of geographical features. Tempesta's attention to detail brings life not only to the human characters but also to the animals present in the scene. The majestic horses add a sense of power and strength while emphasizing the gravity of this encounter. As we delve into this historical narrative, it becomes evident that this artwork holds immense cultural significance for both Dutch and Roman heritage. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, it serves as a reminder of past rebellions and conflicts that have shaped our world today. Antonio Tempesta's masterpiece invites us to reflect upon themes such as diplomacy, negotiation, and compromise - timeless concepts that continue to resonate throughout centuries.
