EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Flemish tapestry from the 16th century. Titled "The Foundation of Rome: Faustulus meets Romulus and Remus" this intricate work of art is attributed to the talented cartoonist Barend van Orley and was manufactured in Brussels between 1525 and 1530. The detail captured in this photograph allows us to appreciate the rich colors, exquisite craftsmanship, and historical significance of this tapestry. The scene depicts an important moment in Roman mythology, where Faustulus encounters the legendary twins Romulus and Remus, who would go on to found the great city of Rome. Every thread tells a story as we observe the characters' expressive faces, their elaborate garments, and even subtle details like flora and fauna that adorn the background. This piece exemplifies both Flemish artistry and Italian influence during that period. Displayed against a backdrop reminiscent of ancient Latium, this tapestry transports us back in time to witness a pivotal moment in European history. It serves as a testament to human creativity across borders – with its Spanish origin but now residing in Madrid – showcasing how art can transcend national boundaries. As we admire this remarkable textile masterpiece through Paul Maeyaert's lens, we are reminded of the enduring power of art to connect us with our past while inspiring future generations.
