This stunning print captures a tapestry illustrating Tarquinius Priscus, dating back to around 1475. The intricate design showcases the history of the founder and fifth king of Rome, as recounted by Livy. In the central scene, Lucius Tarquinius is depicted visiting the master of construction responsible for building the city's walls and sewers.
The craftsmanship displayed in this piece is truly remarkable, with fine details and vibrant colors bringing this ancient Roman tale to life. It is believed that this tapestry may have been manufactured in Brussels, showcasing Flemish artistry at its finest.
