About the Item
Spectacular large scale mid-17th Century Flemish tapestry created after the 1630s design by Jacob Jordaens (d. 1678). Several tapestries of identical design were produced based on drawings by this artist and now adorn walls in Edinburgh Palace Toledo Cathedral Chigi Palace in Rome.
The composition framed in a border with caryatides, snakes, and other distinctive decorative elements, depicts "Alexander the Great Wounded in the Thigh at the Battle of Issus". During the Battle of Issus in 333 BC Alexander the Great sustained a severe shoulder wound while leading his troops against the Persian forces led by Darius III. Despite his injury, Alexander continued to fight bravely and ultimately emerged victorious securing a significant triumph in his campaign to conquer the Persian Empire.

Exceptional 17th Century Flemish Verdure and Mythological Tapestry
Located in Vancouver, British Columbia
A spectacular flemish 17 century combined verdure and mythological handwoven wool tapestry in a simple palette of beige, green, brown and blue, framed with a complete floral border and its original protective burlap backing .Combining romanticism, classicism and baroque artistry, this tapestry is a quintessential example of this highly evolved art form that flourished in Dutch-influenced Flanders throughout the 17th century. The exact mythological event represented by the tapestry is unfortunately not known and I urge viewers and readers of this write up who may recognize the scene to please contact us with the information, for which we would be greatly appreciative. The scene depicted by the tapestry revolves around three life-size classically draped figures with the leading protagonist consisting of a plumed helmeted and uniformed high ranking Roman official in the foreground taking up the entire left hand side of the tapestry. The official is holding the hand of a young woman and is pointing in the direction of a partially visible masted galleon suggesting a departure or a sea faring...
