EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in history - the Insurrection of the Batavians against the Romans. The image titled "Brinno Raised upon Shield Brinio Appointed Chief" captures an intense scene where Brinio, a brave and determined warrior, is elevated on a shield amidst a fervent crowd. The composition draws our attention to Brinio's commanding presence as he stands tall on the shield, symbolizing his newfound position as chief of the Caninifates. His resolute expression reflects both his strength and determination to lead his people in their rebellion against Roman rule. As our gaze extends beyond Brinio, we catch sight of a burning castle in the distance. This visual element serves as a reminder of the fierce battles that have taken place and foreshadows more challenges yet to come. This particular artwork is part of a larger series depicting twelve scenes from the Batavian uprising. Painted by Otto van Veen between 1600 and 1613, these panels were later acquired by the States General in 1613. They offer us valuable insights into not only historical events but also provide glimpses into soldiers' lives during those tumultuous times. With its rich colors and meticulous details rendered through oil paint on panel, this print allows us to immerse ourselves in an important chapter of ancient history while appreciating Van Veen's artistic mastery.
