EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing tapestry depicting the "History of Alexander the Great: The Conquest in the East; The Conquest of the City of Tyre (332 BC) and the Scene of the 'Romance of Alexander' by Killing Monsters Without a Head". Created by the renowned Manufacture of Tournai, this masterpiece is housed within the majestic Villa del Principe Doria in Genoa. The tapestry, dating back to around 1460, beautifully combines elements from Early Renaissance, Renaissance, and Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods. It offers a glimpse into Europe's rich history during both millennia. Intriguingly detailed, this artwork features fanciful animals alongside towering structures that exude architectural brilliance reminiscent of castles and military fortifications. It transports viewers to a battlefield where armed forces engage in combat while donning intricate armor and fashionable clothing typical of their time. A small boat gracefully glides through water nearby as it serves as a method of transportation for characters within this scene. A cannon stands tall as an object symbolizing warfare prowess while insignias denote military ranks. This photograph was captured between 1920-1930 by Alinari Fratelli - not just any company but one with expertise in preserving historical art forms. Its purpose is not commercial use but rather to immortalize this remarkable piece for generations to come. As we delve into its intricacies, we are reminded that art has always been intertwined with history itself – narrating tales that transcend time and space. This tapestry serves as a testament to human creativity throughout different eras and invites us to appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and historical significance.
