EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the "History of Alexander the Great: the conquests in the East; the conquest of the city of Tyre (332 BC)" tapestry. Created by the renowned Manufacture of Tournai, this masterpiece is housed in the illustrious Villa del Principe Doria in Genoa and has found its place among other esteemed artworks at the Doria-Pamphili Gallery in Rome. Dating back to around 1460, this tapestry exemplifies both Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods, representing an important era in European history. The photograph itself was captured between 1920-1930, providing us with a glimpse into this remarkable artwork's past. The image reveals a scene filled with rich historical significance. A griffon vulture soars above as various birds flutter about, adding life to an already vibrant composition. Inhabiting this detailed tapestry are also horses galloping across a battlefield while armed forces engage in military combat—a testament to Alexander's relentless pursuit for conquest. Amidst all these elements lies a depiction of society and politics during that time period. Figures dressed elegantly showcase fashionable clothing worn within courtly settings. The crowd gathered signifies associations formed around significant events like battles or victories—an indication of how deeply intertwined politics and social scenes were during those times. Alinari Fratelli skillfully captures every intricate detail through their lens, allowing viewers to appreciate not only the artistry but also gain insight into Europe's first and second millennium AD. This photograph serves as a window into history—invoking curiosity about ancient civilizations' triumphs and struggles while showcasing artistic brilliance that has stood against time.
