Seeing Blood on Their Brother's Face, the Infantes Slay the Villager,
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and dramatic etching by the renowned Italian Baroque artist, Antonio Tempesta, created in the early 17th century. This image is part of Tempesta's series, "The History of the Seven Sons of Lara," which tells the legendary tale of the seven princes of Córdoba in Spain, who avenged their father's death by slaying the men of a neighboring village. In this particular scene, Tempesta masterfully depicts the moment of the brothers' retaliation. The infantes, dressed in armor and brandishing swords, are shown in the foreground, their faces contorted in anger and determination as they attack the unarmed villagers in the background. One brother has just struck down a man, and another looks on in horror as he sees blood spatter on his brother's face. The villagers, caught off guard and outnumbered, are shown in various states of fear and defeat. The etching is a stunning example of the Baroque era's emphasis on drama, emotion, and movement. The use of chiaroscuro, or the contrast between light and dark, adds depth and intensity to the scene, while the intricate lettering and illustrative details bring the story to life. The black and white contrast also adds to the somber and intense atmosphere of the image. This etching is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in California, United States, and is a testament to the enduring legacy of Antonio Tempesta and the rich cultural heritage of the Baroque era. The image continues to captivate viewers with its powerful depiction of conflict, revenge, and the human condition.
