EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a tapestry illustrating the legendary figure of Tarquinius Priscus, dating back to around 1475. The central scene depicts Lucius Tarquinius being crowned as King, symbolizing the power and authority he held in ancient Rome. At the bottom of the tapestry, he is shown overseeing the construction of walls and sewers in the city, highlighting his role in shaping and developing Rome.
The intricate details and vibrant colors of this Flemish-style tapestry showcase the skill and artistry of its creators, possibly manufactured in Brussels. This piece is not just a work of art but also a historical artifact that tells the story of one of Rome's founding kings according to Livy's account.
