EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a tapestry illustrating the legendary figure of Tarquinius Priscus, dating back to around 1475. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life the history of the founder and fifth king of Rome, as recounted by Livy. In the central scene, we see workmen diligently building sewers and city walls, showcasing their craftsmanship and dedication to urban development. The tapestry is believed to have been manufactured in Brussels, showcasing Flemish artistry at its finest. Made from silk and wool with an impressive six threads per centimeter, this piece exemplifies the skill and precision of European textile production during that era. Displayed in the Cathedral Museum in Zamora, Spain, this tapestry serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and historical significance. It transports viewers back in time to ancient Rome, offering a glimpse into the construction techniques and societal structures of that period. From bricklayers to engineers working on public works projects, every detail in this tapestry tells a story of innovation and progress. It is a true masterpiece that not only decorates but also educates about the rich cultural heritage of Europe during the Middle Ages.
