EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The History of Hannibal, c. 1570" a remarkable tapestry created by the Flemish School in the 16th century. The central detail depicted here is titled "Hannibal's Oath" illustrating a pivotal moment in history when Hannibal Barca sacrifices and swears an oath against the Romans in front of his father, Hamilcar Barca. Measuring an impressive 349 x 335 cm, this first cloth preserved in the series was manufactured in Brussels using wool and silk threads with a density of 6.5/7 per cm. The tapestry exemplifies the exquisite craftsmanship of Flemish art during this period. Displayed at the Cathedral Museum in Zamora, Spain, this artwork transports viewers back to ancient times, capturing elements such as weaponry, altars, and vibrant colors that bring life to scenes from Carthaginian history. It also highlights the rivalry between Rome and Carthage while showcasing African influences from Tunisia and North Africa. "The History of Hannibal" serves as both a decorative piece and a historical artifact representing early modern Europe's fascination with classical antiquity. Through intricate details like portraits, rituals, military campaigns across the Alps, and offerings made by women and girls holding jugs or sabers – all symbolizing different aspects of Carthaginian culture – this tapestry offers us glimpses into an era long gone but not forgotten. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this significant work from Fine Art Finder for enthusiasts seeking to appreciate its rich historical context within Western art's Renaissance period.
