EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent tapestry titled "The Trojan War: The Destruction of Troy" created around 1470 by the Master of Coetivy, also known as Henri de Vulcop. The tapestry measures an impressive 477x942 cm and is a part of a larger series depicting scenes from the Trojan War. In this particular detail, we witness the intense assault on Troy by the Achaeans. Ajax Telamon, one of the Greek warriors, can be seen kidnapping Hecuba and her daughter Cassandra amidst the chaos and destruction. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable, capturing every emotion and movement with precision. Woven with wool and silk in Tournai, Belgium during the late medieval period, this tapestry exemplifies Flemish artistry at its finest. It beautifully combines elements of classical mythology with contemporary warfare techniques. The scene evokes a sense of despair and tragedy as flames engulf buildings while soldiers clad in armor engage in combat all around them. Through this artwork, we are transported back to ancient Greece where heroes clashed for honor and glory. Displayed within the Cathedral Museum in Zamora, Spain today; it serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance. This print allows us to appreciate not only the mastery behind this exquisite piece but also offers us a glimpse into an era long gone yet forever immortalized through art.
