EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a tapestry illustrating the legendary Tarquinius Priscus, founder and fifth king of Rome according to Livy's account. The central scene depicts the coronation of Lucius Tarquinius in exquisite detail, showcasing the opulence and grandeur of Flemish art from the 15th century.
The tapestry is a masterpiece of silk and wool craftsmanship, with intricate designs woven at an impressive rate of 6 threads per centimeter. It is believed to have been manufactured in Brussels, adding another layer of historical significance to this work of art.
Displayed at the Cathedral Museum in Zamora, Spain, this tapestry transports viewers back to ancient Rome, capturing the essence of power and royalty through its depiction of kingship. The rich colors and meticulous attention to detail make it a true treasure from the past.
As we admire this piece, we are reminded not only of the artistic skill that went into creating it but also of the enduring legacy of Tarquinius Priscus himself. This print serves as a window into history, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty and complexity of European art during this period.
