EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a tapestry illustrating Tarquinius Priscus, the founder and fifth king of Rome, dating back to around 1475. The central scene depicts Lucius Tarquinius visiting the master of construction for the city's walls and sewers, showcasing the intricate details and vibrant colors characteristic of Flemish art from that era.
The tapestry is believed to have been possibly manufactured in Brussels, using silk and wool with six threads per inch. It now resides in the Cathedral Museum in Zamora, Spain, adding to its historical significance.
This piece not only showcases the skilled craftsmanship of ancient textile artists but also provides a glimpse into the architectural practices and urban development of early modern Europe. The meeting between Tarquinius and the foreman on this construction site highlights the importance of labor and collaboration in building cities during antiquity.
With its rich history and artistic value, this tapestry serves as a reminder of our past while also inspiring admiration for the talent and dedication of those who created it centuries ago. It truly is a masterpiece worth treasuring for generations to come.
