EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a tapestry illustrating Tarquinius Priscus, the founder and fifth king of Rome according to Livy's account. The scene depicted shows a fierce battle between the Romans and the Sabines, showcasing intricate details and vibrant colors that bring this ancient story to life. Believed to have been manufactured in Brussels, this Flemish art piece is made of silk and wool with an impressive six threads per centimeter. The craftsmanship is evident in every aspect of this tapestry, from the soldiers' helmets and lances to the fortifications of the city in the background. The historical significance of this artwork cannot be understated, as it provides a window into ancient Roman culture and warfare during the early modern era. The attention to detail in depicting both military strategy and daily life within a bustling city is truly remarkable. Displayed at the Cathedral Museum in Zamora, Spain, this tapestry serves as a testament to both Belgian artistic skill and Italian history. It stands as a reminder of our shared European heritage and showcases how art can transcend time to tell stories that continue to captivate audiences centuries later.
