Created by Coecke van Aelst, this masterpiece is made of silk and wool, measuring an impressive 310x435 cm. The tapestry depicts a scene from Cleopatra's court during the second half of the 16th century. In this particular detail, we witness Cleopatra receiving a messenger, highlighting her role as a powerful queen in ancient Egypt. The cardboard used for this piece is attributed to Pieter Coecke van Aelst, with possible manufacturing in Brussels. The Flemish art style shines through in every intricate thread of this tapestry. It now resides within the Cathedral of St. Mary in Burgos, Spain, adding to its historical significance. Through this image, we are transported back to ancient times - a glimpse into the royal court and communication between monarchs. The vibrant colors and attention to detail bring life to Cleopatra's story and showcase Western art at its finest. This remarkable artwork serves as a testament to both Renaissance aesthetics and Ancient Rome's influence on early modern Europe.
