EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The History of Hannibal, c. 1570" a remarkable tapestry created by the Flemish School in the 16th century. The tapestry depicts a significant moment from ancient history - Hannibal's daring crossing of the Alps during his campaign against Rome. Measuring an impressive 354 x 479 cm, this second cloth preserved in the series is a testament to Flemish artistry and craftsmanship. Made from wool and silk, it boasts intricate details with an evenness of color that brings the scene to life. In this particular section of the tapestry, we witness Hannibal's army as they traverse treacherous terrain on their way to conquer new lands. The landscape features a view of a city in North Africa, possibly Carthage or Tunisian origin, showcasing elements of Arab civilization alongside Roman influence. Tents dotting the riverbanks indicate military encampments while soldiers march forward with determination towards victory. The walls surrounding the city symbolize both protection and blockade as Hannibal's forces advance towards their goal. "The History of Hannibal" not only captures an important chapter in European history but also reflects cultural exchange between different civilizations during antiquity. Preserved at Zamora Cathedral Museum in Spain, this masterpiece stands as a testament to early modern era Western art and its ability to convey stories through textiles. With its rich historical significance and exquisite artistic execution, this print offers viewers a glimpse into one of humanity's most epic tales – one that continues to captivate audiences centuries later.
