EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history, depicting the dramatic scene of "The Beheading of Claudius Paul and the Capture of Julius Civilis". The image showcases the aftermath of this gruesome event, with the lifeless body of Julius Paulus lying on the floor amidst a small group of Roman soldiers. On the left side, an executioner can be seen concealing his ax, adding an eerie element to the composition. In stark contrast to this macabre sight, in the foreground we witness Claudius Civilis being escorted away by soldiers. His expression reflects both defiance and resignation as he faces an uncertain fate. This panel is part of a larger series that depicts twelve scenes from the Insurrection of the Batavians against the Romans. Created between 1600 and 1613 by Otto van Veen, this oil painting on panel measures 38 cm in height and 52 cm in width.
