EDITORS COMMENTS
This 250-word caption describes a print of the tapestry "Oxen led to the sacrifice" designed by Jan Van Daele, displayed at the Quirinale Palace in Rome. The artwork, dating back to the late Renaissance period between 1550 and 1601, showcases a scene from ancient times where oxen are being led for sacrifice. The photograph itself was taken around 1900 and captures the intricate details of this remarkable tapestry. It is an exquisite example of Renaissance-Baroque styles that flourished in Europe during the first and second millenniums A. D. In this image, we witness terrestrial mammals known as oxen being guided towards their sacrificial fate. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stitch of fabric, bringing these creatures to life on canvas. Surrounding them are individuals dressed in elaborate costumes representing various associations within society and politics during that era. This tapestry not only reflects fashion trends but also depicts elements from biblical stories found in the Old Testament—a common theme during the Renaissance period. Its presence at Quirinale Palace adds another layer of historical significance as it represents one of Rome's most iconic landmarks. Anderson's skillful photography allows us to appreciate both the grandeur and subtleties captured within this artwork. Through his lens, we can explore centuries-old craftsmanship while contemplating its relevance even today.
