EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases Plate 2 of "Romans Taking Old Dutch Men Hostages" by Antonio Tempesta. Created in 1611, this etching is a remarkable piece that depicts a significant historical event. The artwork portrays Romans engaging in war with the Batavians, capturing elderly Dutch men as hostages while seducing their young counterparts. The composition, executed by Tempesta after Otto van Veen's original design, beautifully captures the intensity and drama of this ancient conflict. The intricate details and masterful use of lines bring life to each character on the sheet measuring 6 7/16 x 8 3/16 inches (164 x 208 cm). Tempesta, an Italian artist born in Florence in 1555 and later based in Rome until his passing in 1630, skillfully conveys the power dynamics between these two civilizations through his artistry. This particular print represents the first state issue one according to Bartsch cataloging. With its rich historical context and artistic brilliance, this print serves as a testament to both Tempesta's talent and our fascination with depicting moments from history through visual storytelling. It offers viewers a glimpse into a tumultuous era when cultures clashed and alliances were forged amidst chaos.
