This print showcases "The Trojan War: Achilles Tent" a stunning tapestry created around 1470 by the Master of Coetivy, also known as Henri de Vulcop. The tapestry measures an impressive 467x690 cm and depicts a central detail of the battle between Greeks and Trojans during the legendary Trojan War. In this particular scene, we witness the fierce clash between two iconic figures - Achilles and Troilus. Their confrontation symbolizes the intense violence and heroism that characterized this ancient conflict. The exquisite craftsmanship of the tapestry is evident in its use of wool and silk threads, with an intricate design featuring six to seven threads per centimeter. The artwork originates from Tournai, Belgium, highlighting the rich artistic tradition of Flemish style during the Middle Ages. It beautifully captures both historical accuracy and imaginative storytelling through its vibrant colors and attention to detail.
