EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a tapestry titled "Story of Cyrus II The Great" created by the Belgian School in the 16th century. The tapestry, measuring an impressive 343 x 316 cm, depicts a scene from Herodotus' "Histories". In this particular panel, Astyages, the last king of the Median Empire and grandfather to Cyrus II, recognizes his young grandson. The intricate design of this Flemish art piece is based on Michiel Coxcie's work and was manufactured in Brussels using silk and wool. It now resides in the Royal Palace of Aranjuez in Spain's autonomous community of Madrid. Cyrus II The Great, also known as King Cyrus or Cyrus the Elder, was a significant figure in history as he founded the Persian Empire during his reign from 559-530 BC. This tapestry captures a pivotal moment when Astyages acknowledges young Cyrus while seated on his saddle wearing a crown. The vibrant colors and attention to detail bring this historical event to life. Through this artwork, we are transported back to ancient times where forgiveness and reconciliation play vital roles amidst political power struggles. With its rich symbolism and historical significance, this tapestry serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an educational tool for those interested in exploring European Renaissance art alongside Middle Eastern history.
