EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 7: German Envoys Visit Civilis, from The War of the Romans Against the Batavians (Romanorvm et Batavorvm societas), 1611, captures a pivotal moment in ancient Roman history. In this black and white etching by Antonio Tempesta, we witness an intense meeting between two worlds on the brink of war. The image showcases Gaius Julius Civilis, a prominent figure in the Batavian Rebellion against Roman rule. Standing tall and clad in armor, he gestures passionately to a group of German envoys who have come to join forces with him. The tension is palpable as these men from different lands converge at this historic crossroads. Tempesta's meticulous attention to detail transports us back to seventeenth-century Rome, where this print was created. With his masterful technique and Italian heritage shining through every stroke, Tempesta brings life to each character present in the scene. As we gaze upon this artwork housed within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, we are reminded of the power struggles that shaped our world centuries ago. This print serves as a visual testament to human resilience and determination when faced with oppression. Through Plate 7: German Envoys Visit Civilis, Tempesta invites us into an intimate glimpse of history—a time when nations clashed and alliances were forged amidst chaos. It is a poignant reminder that even during times of strife and conflict, there exists hope for unity among diverse peoples seeking freedom from tyranny
