EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history, depicting the intense struggle between the Romans and Julius Civilis' army during the Batavian insurrection. In this eleventh representation of a series of twelve scenes, we witness an extraordinary act of treachery that nearly turns the tide in favor of the Romans. The scene unfolds with great drama as a courageous man, driven by his own motives or perhaps seeking redemption, betrays his fellow Batavians to a Roman officer on horseback. The tension is palpable as both armies clash amidst chaos and destruction. The betrayal from within exposes Claudius Civilis and his forces to imminent defeat at the hands of Cerealis and his determined Roman soldiers. Painted by Otto van Veen between 1600-1613, this panel artwork masterfully portrays not only the physicality but also the emotional turmoil experienced by those involved in this historical event. Through skillful use of oil paint, Van Veen brings life to each character's suffering and misfortune while highlighting their roles in shaping classical history. Acquired by States General in 1613, this remarkable piece serves as a powerful reminder of human nature's complexities - loyalty versus self-interest, honor versus survival. It invites us to reflect upon how individual choices can alter destinies on grand scales. As we gaze upon this print from Liszt Collection, let us contemplate the consequences that unfold when trust is shattered through acts of treason amidst war-torn landscapes like Binnenhof.
