EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The History of Hannibal, c. 1570" a remarkable tapestry created by the Flemish School in the 16th century. The tapestry depicts a pivotal moment in history, specifically Mago (Magon le Samnite), Hannibal's messenger, recounting the victorious battle of Cannae and displaying the spoils before the Senate in Carthage. Measuring an impressive 344 x 404 cm, this fifth cloth preserved in the series was manufactured in Brussels using wool and silk threads with a density of 6.5/7 per cm. It exemplifies exquisite Flemish artistry and craftsmanship. The scene portrayed is filled with rich symbolism and historical significance. As Mago reads his message to the Senate, he proudly displays rings taken from defeated Roman soldiers as proof of their triumph. This tapestry captures not only military prowess but also political communication during ancient times. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this artwork transports viewers back to a time when Carthaginian general Hannibal (247-183 BC) challenged Rome's dominance over Europe. It highlights both African and European cultures through elements such as camels, turbans worn by Moors, and exotic textiles. Displayed at Zamora Cathedral Museum in Spain's Castile and Leon region, this tapestry serves as a testament to human ingenuity throughout history. Its portrayal of war tactics, looting for booty, strategic messaging between empires underscores themes that continue to resonate today – stubborn determination against adversity and diplomatic efforts amidst conflict. "The History of Hannibal" is truly an awe-inspiring piece that invites admirers to delve into ancient civilizations' complexities while appreciating Flemish style within Western art traditions.
