Brinno Raised upon the Shield,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating masterpiece by the Flemish artist Otto Van Veen, dates back to the 17th century and depicts a pivotal moment in ancient history: the appointment of Brinno as the chief of the Caninifates during the Batavian Rebellion against the Romans. This oil on panel painting, also known as "Brinio Is Appointed Chief of the Caninifates," is one of a series of twelve works by Van Veen that illustrate this significant uprising. The scene unfolds with a jubilant crowd gathered around Brinno, a determined man with a strong, muscular build, as he stands proudly atop a shield. His son, a young boy with an expression of awe and pride, clings to his father's leg. The atmosphere is filled with a sense of unity and alliance among the local people, as they cheer and celebrate their new leader. This painting is a testament to the rich heritage of the Low Countries and the Netherlands, as it draws inspiration from the historic accounts of the Batavian Rebellion, as documented by the ancient Roman historian Cornelius Tacitus. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the oil painting showcase the Mannerist style, which was popular during the 16th and 17th centuries. The image of Brinno being raised on the shield is a powerful symbol of leadership, courage, and the enduring spirit of the people. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, serves as a reminder of the profound impact of historical events and the role of art in preserving and sharing these stories for generations to come.
