EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Plate 20: Civilis Having his Hair Cut" takes us back to the ancient Roman era during the Batavian Rebellion. Created by Italian artist Antonio Tempesta in 1611, this artwork showcases a significant moment in history. In this scene, we witness Gaius Julius Civilis, a prominent figure in the revolt of the Batavi people against Roman rule. The etching depicts him seated while a barber carefully trims his hair. Surrounding them are musicians playing drums and other instruments, adding an element of music and rhythm to the atmosphere. The image not only highlights the rebellion itself but also provides insight into daily life during that time period. We see men and boys engaged in various occupations such as drumming or serving as prisoners. The nakedness of some figures adds vulnerability and rawness to their portrayal. Tempesta's attention to detail is evident throughout this piece; from the intricate etching technique to capturing emotions on each face depicted. This print is part of The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, showcasing its historical significance. Through this photograph print, viewers are transported back centuries ago to witness a pivotal moment in ancient Rome's history - one that continues to captivate our imagination today.
