Civilis Using Movable Wooden Bridges to Attack a Fortress 1611

Editor: Antonio Tempesta's "Civilis Using Movable Wooden Bridges to Attack a Fortress," is a flurry of action. It's a relatively small print, but it feels epic in scale. What draws your eye when you look at this piece? Curator: The recurring motif of the bridge speaks volumes here. It's not merely a tool of war, but a symbol of transition, of crossing boundaries – both physical and psychological. Do you see how the bridge becomes a stage for conflict, a space where identities clash? Editor: I see that now, and how the bridge links two opposing sides. I hadn't thought about it that way! Curator: It invites us to contemplate the fluidity of power and the ephemeral nature of victory. Editor: I'll definitely be looking at bridges differently from now on!
