EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite detail from the 'Trojan War: Achilles' Death' tapestry, created around 1470, showcases the intense struggle between the Achaeans and Trojans during the final stages of the legendary war. The eighth cloth in a series, this masterpiece is attributed to the Master of the Coëtivy Workshop, specifically Henry or Conrard of Vulcop, who were active in Tournai between 1454 and 1479. Manufactured in Tournai, a center of Flemish art, this tapestry is a testament to the exceptional weaving techniques of the time. Measuring 482 x 942 cm, it was woven with both wool and silk using approximately 6-7 threads per cm. The intricate detail in this scene is remarkable, with each figure expertly rendered in vivid colors and dynamic poses. The Master of Coëtivy's 'Trojan War: Achilles' Death' series is renowned for its high-quality execution and historical accuracy. This particular scene depicts the chaotic moment as Hector, the Trojan prince, grapples with Achilles, the legendary Greek warrior, in a desperate attempt to save his city. The background is filled with the clash of armies, as other soldiers engage in hand-to-hand combat, adding to the sense of urgency and intensity. This tapestry is now housed in the Cathedral Museum of Zamora, Spain, where it continues to captivate visitors with its intricate details and historical significance. The 'Trojan War: Achilles' Death' series is a prime example of the artistic achievements of the late medieval period and the Master of Coëtivy's remarkable skill as a tapestry weaver.
