EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate details of a tapestry illustrating The Trojan War: Achilles' Death, dating back to around 1470. The scene depicts the legendary king Agamemnon leading his troops in battle against the Trojans, with Achilles delivering a fatal blow to Troilus, son of King Priam.
Created by the Master of Coetivy, Henry or Conrard of Vulcop, this eighth cloth in the series showcases exquisite craftsmanship and artistry. Made in Tournai using wool and silk, the tapestry is a masterpiece of medieval European textile art.
The vibrant colors and detailed imagery bring this ancient mythological tale to life, capturing the intensity and drama of battle. The armor-clad warriors clash on the battlefield as spears fly and swords clash, evoking a sense of heroism and valor.
This piece not only serves as a historical artifact but also as a testament to human creativity and storytelling through art. It transports viewers back to ancient Greece, immersing them in the epic saga of war and mythology depicted on its woven threads.
A true marvel from the late 15th century Flemish style, this tapestry remains an enduring symbol of artistic excellence and cultural heritage.
