EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 5: Bruno Appointed Leader of the Caninefates, from The War of the Romans Against the Batavians (Romanorvm et Batavorvm societas), 1611, captures a pivotal moment in ancient Roman history. Antonio Tempesta's black and white etching transports us to 17th century Rome, where the Dutch rebellion against Roman rule is underway. In this image, we witness Bruno being appointed as the chief leader of the Caninefates, a Germanic tribe known for their fierce resistance against Roman oppression. Standing tall amidst his fellow soldiers, Bruno exudes strength and determination as he carries the weight of his people's hopes on his shoulders. Tempesta's attention to detail brings this historical event to life. The intricate lines and shading create a sense of depth and movement within the scene. The expressions on each character's face reveal their individual emotions - some filled with anticipation while others show signs of weariness from years of battle. As we gaze upon this print at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are reminded not only of ancient Rome but also how rebellion has been an integral part of human history across time and cultures. This artwork serves as a testament to our enduring spirit in fighting for freedom and justice. Through Tempesta's masterful technique and Otto van Veen's insightful storytelling in issue 1 Bartsch, Plate 5 becomes more than just an illustration; it becomes a window into a significant chapter in our collective heritage.
