EDITORS COMMENTS
The Roman Commander Cerialis Attacks Near Trier," published in 1612, is a captivating etching by the renowned Italian artist Antonio Tempesta. This masterpiece is part of The War of the Romans Against the Batavians series, specifically plate 25. The image portrays the intense moment of a Roman cavalry charge led by Commander Cerialis Quintus Petillius against the Batavian assailants near the city of Trier. The Baroque era artwork, characterized by its dramatic contrasts and dynamic movement, vividly depicts the chaos and intensity of the battlefield. The black and white contrast adds to the dramatic effect, highlighting the intricate details of the figures and their horses. The Roman cavalrymen, dressed in armor and brandishing weapons, charge fearlessly towards their Batavian adversaries. The Batavians, with their long hair and distinctive clothing, are shown in a defensive stance, preparing for the imminent impact. The scene is set against a backdrop of a turbulent landscape, with rolling hills and trees in the distance. The lettering at the bottom of the print identifies the location as "Treveris," an ancient Roman city in present-day Germany. The artwork is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of both the Roman and Batavian civilizations, and the historical significance of their conflict. This etching, now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a valuable addition to any art collection or history exhibit. It provides a glimpse into the past, illustrating the bravery and determination of the Roman commander and his cavalrymen as they charged against their adversaries during the Batavian Rebellion. The artwork continues to captivate audiences and inspire artists and historians alike, offering a window into the events and people of ancient Rome and the Baroque era.
