This captivating etching by the renowned Italian artist Antonio Tempesta, titled
EDITORS COMMENTS
Roma and Batavia," was published in 1612 as part of his series "The War of the Romans Against the Batavians." The allegorical image depicts the ancient Roman goddess Roma, represented by a female figure in a flowing toga, extending her hand in a gesture of peace to Batavia, symbolized by a muscular man wearing a headdress adorned with feathers and holding a spear. The scene is set against a circular backdrop, with the continents of Europe and America in the background, representing the historical context of the Batavian Rebellion, a significant event in the early history of Jakarta, Indonesia, in Southeast Asia. The Batavian Rebellion, also known as the Revolt of the Batavi, took place in 1623 when the Batavian people, who were originally Germanic in origin, rose up against their Dutch colonial rulers. This event is depicted in the allegory as a mythical encounter between the ancient Romans and the Batavians, emphasizing the historical and cultural connections between the European and Indonesian peoples. Tempesta's masterful use of allegorical figures, lettering, and illustrative detail creates a striking and thought-provoking image that continues to captivate viewers and scholars of art, history, and literature. This etching is a testament to the enduring significance of the Baroque artistic tradition and the rich cultural heritage it represents."
