EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Trojan War: Achilles Tent" a remarkable tapestry from the 15th century Flemish School. The image captures a poignant moment as Andromache and her children bid farewell to Hector, their beloved husband and father. This scene is depicted on the right detail of the sixth cloth in the series, created by the Master of Coetivy, Henry or Conrard of Vulcop. Measuring an impressive 467 x 690 cm, this wool and silk tapestry exemplifies the exquisite craftsmanship of Flemish art. It is housed in the Cathedral Museum at Catedral de Zamora in Castilla y Leon, Spain. The intricate details within this artwork transport viewers back to ancient Greece, immersing them in classical mythology and evoking emotions of heroism and tragedy. The delicate embroidery, diadem adorned with jewelry, and elegantly draped clothing add depth to each character's portrayal. As we gaze upon this piece through time's lens, we witness a mother's sorrowful goodbye to her fallen hero husband amidst a military camp during one of history's most legendary wars. The somber atmosphere exudes sadness while capturing both personal loss and collective misfortune. "The Trojan War: Achilles Tent" serves as a testament to Western art's early modern era while reminding us of timeless themes such as love, sacrifice, and human resilience.
