Tapestry of Flanders, 16th century Technical characteristics : Wool and silk Dimensions : Height : 250cm ; Width : 210cm It is under the auspices of Mars, god of war, appearing in a radiant halo, that this royal scene takes place. We see a sovereign, dressed in antique style, sitting on a throne, resting himself on a carpet, listening attentively, as well as two venerable advisors, in toga and cuirass; a noble personage with a flowery beard (undoubtedly a general) drawing his sword in a bellicose sign. It seems that as Clausewitz said: "War is only the extension of politics by other means". Which seems to be the case for this historical scene. Gallooned border. (A certificate of authenticity of the expert, Mr Frank KASSAPIAN, will be given to the buyer.
