EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning tapestry print captures the intricate details of Tarquinius Priscus, the founder and fifth king of Rome, as depicted in a historical scene dating back to around 1475. The central image shows Lucius Tarquinius visiting the master of construction responsible for building the city walls and sewers, highlighting the importance of infrastructure in ancient Rome.
Created with silk and wool using Flemish art techniques, this tapestry is a masterpiece that showcases both artistic skill and historical significance. The vibrant colors and meticulous craftsmanship bring to life a moment from antiquity, offering viewers a glimpse into the political and architectural landscape of early modern Europe.
Displayed at the Cathedral Museum in Zamora, Spain, this piece exemplifies the fusion of Belgian and Italian influences in its design. From the armor-clad figures to the bustling construction site backdrop, every detail tells a story of power, labor, and society during this period.
As we admire this work of art today, we are reminded of how history can be preserved through textiles and how each thread woven into this tapestry represents centuries-old traditions and cultural exchange. It serves as a testament to human creativity and ingenuity across time periods and continents.
