The Story in the Margin
“The Conspiracy of Claudius Civilis,” painted around 1661–62 by Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–1669), depicts the one-eyed Batavian chieftain Claudius Civilis rallying his people in revolt against Rome — a story from Tacitus that 17th-century Dutch audiences read as an emblem of their own struggle for independence from Spain. Commissioned for Amsterdam's new Town Hall at an enormous five-meter scale, the painting was returned to Rembrandt and cut down to a quarter of its original size; it stands as the last major history painting of his career. It is now the centerpiece of the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm.
Printed with archival giclée inks on smooth, acid-free 220 gsm gallery-grade fine-art paper; available in multiple sizes.
