EDITORS COMMENTS
The Trojan War: The Destruction of Troy. ca. 1470, is a stunning tapestry detail from the series created by the Master of the Coëtivy Workshop, Henry or Conrard of Vulcop, active between 1454 and 1479. This intricately woven masterpiece was manufactured in Tournai, Flanders, and is now housed in the Cathedral Museum of Zamora, Spain. The scene depicted in this tapestry is a poignant moment during the final assault of the Achaeans on Troy. Hecuba, the queen of Troy, entrusts her beloved daughter Polyxena to Antenor, a Trojan nobleman, as the city falls into chaos. The expression of anguish and despair on Hecuba's face is palpable, as she watches her city and her family being torn apart before her eyes. The Master of Coëtivy's skillful use of wool and silk threads, with a density of 6/7 threads per centimeter, brings this emotional moment to life. The intricate details, such as the folds of Hecuba's robe and the texture of Polyxena's hair, showcase the artist's mastery of the tapestry medium. This tapestry is a testament to the artistic achievements of the Flemish art scene during the late Middle Ages. It is a powerful reminder of the human cost of war and the enduring bond between a mother and her child.
