The artwork itself dates back to the Renaissance period, specifically XV-XVI secc, showcasing its historical significance. The tapestry's intricate design and vibrant colors beautifully capture this mythological love story. The image portrays a male figure dressed in exquisite Renaissance attire, symbolizing Cephalus, while an elegant female counterpart represents Procris. Their costumes reflect the fashion and clothing styles prevalent during that era. In this scene, a priest officiates their sacred union with utmost solemnity and grace. This religious rite signifies not only their marriage but also highlights elements of Christian tradition and Catholicism prevalent during that time. The composition exudes a sense of romance as it transports viewers into an ethereal world where mythology intertwines with human emotions.
