EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Tapestry, The Anniversary of Hector's Death, from Tournai. Created by the Belgian School in the 15th century, this remarkable piece is a testament to their mastery of wool and silk weaving. Measuring an impressive 350.5x269.2 cm, it currently resides in the Burrell Collection in Glasgow, Scotland. Derived from the eighth tapestry in a Trojan War Series, this fragment transports us back to ancient times. The scene depicted captures a momentous occasion - an anniversary or birthday celebration perhaps - where armored warriors and men gather together amidst a vibrant crowd. The attention to detail is awe-inspiring; every thread meticulously woven to create intricate patterns and textures that bring life to each figure present. A man stands at the center, his sword raised high as if paying homage to fallen heroes like Hector. The tapestry not only serves as a visual masterpiece but also offers insights into historical events and cultural practices of that era. It reminds us of the significance textiles held during those times – not just as decorative pieces but also as powerful storytelling tools. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of our connection with history and how art continues to transcend time and captivate our imaginations.
