EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable tapestry illustrating Tarquinius Priscus, believed to have been created around 1475 by an unknown artist from the 15th century. The tapestry depicts the historical figure of Lucius Tarquinius Priscus, who reigned as King of Rome from 616 BC to 579 BC. According to Livy's account, the scene on the left side of the tapestry portrays an eagle snatching Lucius Tarquinius' hat while he is accompanied by his wife Tanaquil and his court on their journey to Rome. The exquisite craftsmanship and vibrant colors of this Flemish art piece are truly mesmerizing. Made from silk and wool, it exemplifies the artistic mastery prevalent during that era. It is speculated that this magnificent tapestry may have been manufactured in Brussels. Displayed at Zamora's Cathedral Museum in Castile and Leon, Spain, this artwork offers a glimpse into ancient Roman history and early modern European culture. The intricate details capture elements such as knights on horseback, elegant ladies dressed in period clothing, and scenes depicting urbanism. This print beautifully captures not only the rich cultural heritage but also serves as a testament to Western art's evolution throughout time. With its fusion of Belgian finesse and Italian influences, this tapestry represents an important chapter in both Flemish style textiles and Italian Renaissance aesthetics. Overall, this image transports us back centuries ago with its timeless beauty; it invites us to appreciate the skillful craftsmanship behind each thread woven into history itself.
