EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Women Rome Gathering Capitol Rising Rome Account" depicts a momentous event in ancient Roman history. The artwork, created by Pieter Isaacsz around 1600-1602, showcases the powerful story of the Roman women's uprising at the Capitol. In this striking image, we witness a multitude of women congregating in the square surrounding the magnificent equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius. Some carry household goods while others stand armed, symbolizing their determination and strength. Amidst this scene of revolution and revolt, a child can be seen riding in a dog cart, perhaps representing both innocence and hope for change. The catalyst for this gathering was little Papirius's announcement to the council that every man should have two women. This controversial decree sparked outrage among Roman women who felt oppressed and undervalued. Their collective voice echoed through the city as they united on that fateful day. Pieter Isaacsz masterfully captures both the intensity and unity displayed by these brave women through his use of copper as well as oil paint on metal canvas. The composition draws our attention to the center foreground where their resilience takes center stage. This extraordinary artwork serves as an enduring testament to female empowerment throughout history—a reminder that even centuries ago, courageous individuals fought against societal norms for equality and justice.
