EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Plate 35 Batavians Afraid Begin Peace Talks War" transports us back to a significant historical moment. Created by Antonio Tempesta, an Italian artist from Florence in 1611, this etching captures the essence of tension and fear during a time of war. The image portrays the Batavians, inhabitants of ancient Germania Inferior (present-day Netherlands), engaged in peace talks with their Roman counterparts. However, anxiety is palpable as both sides are hesitant to trust each other's intentions. The delicate lines and intricate details bring forth the emotions felt by these individuals caught between diplomacy and conflict. This particular print is part of the first state issue one collection curated by Bartsch. Measuring at approximately 7 11/16 x 9 7/16 inches (19.5 x 24 cm), it showcases Tempesta's mastery in capturing human expressions and conveying complex narratives through his art. Interestingly, this artwork was created after Otto van Veen's original design. Van Veen was a renowned Netherlandish artist from Leiden who worked extensively in Brussels during the same period as Tempesta. Their collaboration adds another layer of depth to this piece, merging Italian finesse with Netherlandish sensibilities. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from the Liszt Collection, let us reflect on how history has shaped our world today – reminding us that even amidst uncertainty and fear, there remains hope for peaceful resolutions.
