EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and vibrant Aubusson tapestry titled "Clodius Disguised as a Woman from The Story of Caesar and Cleopatra". Created in Flanders around 1680, this masterpiece was woven at the renowned workshop of Gerard Peemans, following a design by Justus van Egmont. The artwork transports us back to ancient Egypt and Rome, capturing a pivotal moment in history. In this scene, Clodius is cunningly disguised as a woman, his true identity concealed beneath flowing garments adorned with exquisite floral patterns. As he navigates through the opulent interior of an Egyptian palace, anger radiates from his intense gaze. Accompanying Clodius on his clandestine mission is an elegant dog, its loyalty evident in its protective stance. The juxtaposition of femininity and deception adds depth to this baroque-era piece, highlighting themes of disguise and intrigue. The rich colors and meticulous details bring life to every element within the composition – from the garlands of flowers delicately draped across furniture to the abundance of fruit symbolizing fertility and prosperity. This work exemplifies Flemish artistry at its finest. Displayed proudly within the Art Institute Chicago's gallery walls, this remarkable tapestry serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with historical narratives. It invites viewers into a world where power dynamics intertwine with personal ambitions while showcasing Peemans' mastery in textile craftsmanship. A true treasure that continues to captivate audiences centuries after its creation.
