Created by Coecke van Aelst, this masterpiece is crafted from 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 moment captured in time, Cleopatra receives a messenger, highlighting her regal presence and power as queen. The tapestry is attributed to Pieter Coecke van Aelst and possibly manufactured in Brussels. It belongs to the Flemish art tradition, representing a significant period of Western art history. Displayed within Spain's Cathedral of St. Mary in Burgos, this artwork transports viewers back to ancient Rome with its rich colors and intricate details. The tapestry beautifully combines elements of Renaissance art with influences from ancient Egypt.
