EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical tapestry from the first quarter of the 17th century, created by Nicasius Aerts. Measuring an impressive 365.8x515.5 cm, this textile masterpiece is currently held in a private collection. The tapestry is believed to depict a significant episode from the history of Troy, with its central scene portraying a king humbly kneeling and offering his crown to a female warrior. However, much to his surprise, she turns and refuses the crown while being flanked by three other fierce female warriors. Every intricate detail of this artwork reflects the ornate beauty and craftsmanship of Flemish textiles during that era. The composition features rich colors and decorative elements that enhance its overall grandeur. This image transports us back in time to witness this powerful moment where gender roles are challenged within a military context. It offers us glimpses into classical mythology as well as Renaissance artistry. The tented encampment surrounding these characters adds depth and authenticity to the scene, immersing viewers in their world filled with history and intrigue. With its remarkable depiction of rejection, power dynamics, and classical themes interwoven with exquisite ornamentation, this historical tapestry continues to captivate audiences even centuries after its creation.
