EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable 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" where Astyages, the last king of the Median Empire, recognizes young Cyrus. 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 forms part of a series that narrates the life and accomplishments of Cyrus II The Great, who was not only King of Ashan but also founded the Persian empire during his reign from 559 to 530 BC. In this particular section of the tapestry, Astyages is portrayed sitting on his saddle while wearing a crown as he acknowledges young Cyrus. Surrounding them are soldiers adorned with helmets and various military attire such as lances and pikes. This stunning artwork beautifully captures both historical events and mythological elements. Displayed at Madrid's Royal Palace of Aranjuez within Spain's autonomous community, this exquisite tapestry exemplifies Western art during the early modern era. Its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail make it an exceptional example of decorative arts from Belgium. With its rich historical significance and artistic brilliance, this print invites viewers to delve into ancient Persian history while appreciating the masterful craftsmanship behind Flemish-style tapestries.
