EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate tapestry titled "Cycle of Oedipus: procession of Polybe and Periboae in Corinth". The scene depicted marks a significant moment in the story, as it portrays the adoption of Oedipus by the queen. In this visually stunning artwork, we witness Oedipus escaping from the arms of Phorbas while being surrounded by sovereigns and courtesans who eagerly observe the unfolding events. The tapestry itself measures an impressive 405 x 485 cm and is attributed to Bernard van Orley, a renowned Belgian artist from the 16th century. It is believed that Pieter Coecke van Aelst also played a role in its creation at his workshop during the years 1525-1535. The photograph was taken by Leonard de Selva, capturing every intricate detail with precision. The image allows us to appreciate not only the artistry involved but also provides insight into historical storytelling through visual mediums. Currently housed at Museu de Lamego in Portugal, this piece serves as a testament to both Netherlandish artistry and ancient Greek mythology. Its vibrant colors and meticulous craftsmanship continue to captivate viewers centuries after its creation. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness an important moment within Oedipus' tragic tale. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and bring stories from antiquity alive for contemporary audiences.
