EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Plate 25: The Roman Commander Cerialis Attacks Near Trier" takes us back to the ancient Roman era, specifically during the Batavian Rebellion. Created by Italian artist Antonio Tempesta in 1611, this etching showcases a pivotal moment in history. The image depicts the fierce battle between Roman soldiers led by Quintus Petillius Cerialis and the rebellious Batavi people near Trier. In this intense scene, we witness an array of horsemen charging forward with determination and bravery. The powerful horses gallop through the battlefield while their riders brandish swords and spears, ready to engage in combat. Tempesta's attention to detail is evident as he captures every aspect of this historical event - from the expressions on each soldier's face to the movement of their flowing garments. This artwork not only portrays a significant military conflict but also highlights themes of power dynamics, rebellion, and human resilience. Housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this print serves as a testament to both Italian artistic mastery and ancient Rome's enduring legacy. It allows viewers to immerse themselves in a world long gone yet preserved through artistry. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of humanity's unyielding spirit throughout centuries marked by war and revolution.
