EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The History of Hannibal, c. 1570" a magnificent tapestry created by the Flemish School in the 16th century. The tapestry depicts an iconic moment from history - Hannibal's daring crossing of the Alps during the Second Punic War. Measuring an impressive 354 x 479 cm and crafted with wool and silk, this piece exemplifies the exquisite artistry of Flemish textiles. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, it transports viewers to ancient times, capturing both the grandeur and brutality of war. At its center stands Hannibal himself, a formidable Carthaginian general leading his army against Rome. Riding atop an elephant, he commands attention with his regal presence and strategic brilliance. Surrounding him are soldiers clad in armor, shields raised high as they navigate treacherous terrain. Beyond its historical significance, this tapestry also reflects elements of African culture and Arab civilization through its portrayal of North Africa's Maghreb region. It serves as a testament to the interconnectedness between different civilizations during this period. Preserved at Zamora's Cathedral Museum in Spain's Castile and Leon region, this masterpiece is a true treasure of Western art. Through Bridgeman Images' expert photography skills captured by Maeyaert/AIC, we can now appreciate every intricate detail from afar while immersing ourselves in one of history's most epic tales - Hannibal's audacious journey across the Alps.
