EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Plate 26 from the renowned series "The War of the Romans Against the Batavians" by Antonio Tempesta. Created in 1611, during the 17th century, this ancient Roman artwork depicts a significant moment in history - Cerialis Pardoning and Relieving Roman Soldiers who had helped Civilis. Intriguingly etched with meticulous detail, the scene showcases Quintus Petillius Cerialis Caesius Rufus, also known as Cerialis, gesturing with authority while surrounded by a group of soldiers. The soldiers kneel before him, their expressions filled with gratitude and relief. This powerful image reflects not only a pivotal event but also highlights themes of loyalty, forgiveness, and redemption. Tempesta's masterful use of shading and composition adds depth to this piece. The artist skillfully portrays each individual soldier's emotions through subtle facial expressions and body language.

Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this remarkable print is an invaluable part of Dutch heritage art.
