EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of chaos and destruction in "Pillage" a tapestry from the renowned "Art of War" series. Created by Lambert de Hondt in the early 18th century, this monumental artwork measures an impressive 350.52 x 558.8 cm. The scene depicted is one of utter turmoil, as looting and pillaging take place in a rural village setting. The textile masterpiece showcases a wide array of characters - both human and animal - engaged in various acts of theft and robbery. Villagers can be seen desperately trying to protect their belongings while others fall victim to ruthless raiders on horseback. Amidst the chaos, farm animals such as cows, pigs, sheep, and horses are caught up in the frenzy. The tapestry vividly portrays the harsh realities faced by those living through times of war and conflict. The level of detail captured in this print is truly remarkable; every thread seems to come alive with movement and emotion. It serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's capacity for destruction but also our resilience in rebuilding after devastation. Displayed at the San Diego Museum of Art, this piece was generously gifted by Mr. and Mrs. Appleton S. Bridges, ensuring its preservation for future generations to appreciate Flemish artistry at its finest.
