EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable tapestry depicting the history of Alexander the Great. Titled "The Youth, The Farewell of the Young Hero by His Parents" this exquisite piece was created by the renowned Manufacture of Tournai and is housed in the Villa del Principe Doria in Genoa. Dating back to around 1460, during the Early Renaissance period, this tapestry showcases a harmonious blend of Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. It offers a glimpse into Europe's rich cultural heritage from both the first and second millennia. The photograph itself was taken between 1920-1930, showcasing its enduring appeal even after centuries have passed. The artist behind this masterpiece remains unknown but their talent shines through every intricate detail. In this particular scene depicted on the tapestry, we witness Alexander's youth as he bids farewell to his parents before embarking on his heroic journey. The horse stands tall beside him, symbolizing strength and determination. Surrounded by towering architecture reminiscent of castles and military structures, Alexander exudes an air of nobility befitting his status as a great conqueror. Clad in armor that reflects both fashion and functionality from the Renaissance period, he wears insignia denoting his military rank with pride. This artwork not only highlights historical events but also explores physiological and psychological aspects associated with youth and age. It serves as a testament to royal imperial life during early Renaissance times when power struggles were prevalent across Europe. Preserved within Rome's prestigious Doria-Pamphili Gallery since its acquisition from Genoa's Villa del Principe Doria, this tapestry continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty. Thanks to Alinari Fratelli's skillful photography work capturing every intricate detail, viewers can appreciate this extraordinary piece for generations to come without commercial intentions overshadowing its true essence.
