EDITORS COMMENTS
Two Roman Units Defeated" is a captivating etching by the renowned Italian Baroque artist Antonio Tempesta, published in 1612. This masterpiece is part of a series titled "The War of the Romans Against the Batavians," specifically plate 5, which depicts Bruno Appointed Leader of the Cananefates or Caninefates. The image vividly portrays the aftermath of a fierce battle between the Roman soldiers and the Batavians, a Germanic tribe from Batavia, present-day Indonesia, in Southeast Asia. The defeated Romans lie scattered across the scene, their armor and weapons discarded, while the victorious Batavians, led by Bruno, stand triumphantly. The intricate detail and dynamic composition of the etching evoke a sense of chaos and intensity, transporting the viewer to the heart of the battlefield. The Baroque era, characterized by grandeur and drama, is evident in the dramatic contrast between the dark, ominous background and the bold, illuminated figures. The lettering in the print, which includes the title and artist's name, adds an element of historical authenticity and enhances the overall visual appeal. This etching is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of ancient Rome and the European artistic tradition. It provides a glimpse into the history of the Batavian rebellion, a significant event in the Roman conquest of the continent. The "Two Roman Units Defeated" etching is a must-see for anyone with an interest in history, art, or the Baroque era. This work of art is now part of the permanent collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors from around the world. The intricacy and detail of Tempesta's etching make it a valuable addition to any art gallery or museum exhibition, showcasing the depth and breadth of the artistic legacy of the 17th century.
