The Bridge of Resolution: A Pivotal Moment in Batavian Revolt, Otto van Veen, 1600 - 1613 - Video

In 1613, the Dutch parliament (States General) commissioned Otto van Veen to paint twelve paintings depicting the revolt of the Batavians against the Romans in AD 69 and 70. These were displayed in Binnenhof, the central government building in The Hague. In the early years of the Dutch Republic, many compared their own revolt against Spain to the Batavian uprising.

The peace negotiations between Claudius Civilis and Cerealis. The commanders approach each other on a partially destroyed bridge over a river outside a city. Twelfth representation in a series of twelve scenes of the uprising of the Batavians against the Romans, purchased by the States General in 1613.
