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 on the left showcases intricate details of city walls, possibly manufactured in Brussels during the 15th century. The Flemish artistry is evident in the silk and wool materials used, with an impressive six threads per centimeter.
The rich colors and historical significance of this tapestry transport viewers back to ancient Rome, showcasing elements of fortification and urbanism from that era. The couple depicted in the artwork exude regal elegance, embodying the grandeur of Roman society during Tarquinius Priscus' reign.
Located in Zamora Cathedral Museum in Spain's Castile and Leon region, this piece offers a glimpse into both Belgian craftsmanship and Italian influence on Western art. It serves as a visual time capsule from a bygone era, inviting us to contemplate the beauty and complexity of early modern European textiles.
As we admire this exquisite tapestry through Maeyaert/AIC's lens, we are reminded of the enduring legacy of ancient civilizations and their impact on artistic expression throughout history.
