Description
Palatial 17th Century Tapestry Daris at Constantinople, Flemish, Wall Art, Silk,
This exquisite 17th-century Flemish tapestry is a remarkable piece of art, showcasing a dynamic historical scene featuring Daris at Constantinople. The vivid depiction of rearing horses in the foreground brings a sense of motion and intensity, while the portrayal of the famed emperor, with his rippling physique and turned head, captures a moment of disdain and drama.
Crafted with a rich blend of silk, the tapestry remains in exceptional condition, a testament to its careful preservation over the years. Acquired two decades ago at Sotheby’s in New York City for $60,000, plus the hammer commission, this tapestry not only embodies artistic mastery but also carries a significant history, making it a coveted piece for collectors and historians alike. Its enduring beauty and intricate details ensure it remains a centerpiece of any collection. This item was removed from a Greenwich CT mansion.
"Daris at Constantinople" refers to a historical or legendary narrative rather than a specific well-known figure. The name "Darius" most likely alludes to Darius the Great, the Persian king known for his vast empire and conflicts with Greece.
In the context of a tapestry or artwork, this scene could depict an imagined moment or a stylized interpretation of historical events involving Darius and the city of Constantinople (formerly Byzantium), which later became significant in the context of the Persian Wars and other conflicts in ancient history. -
