Wedding Banquet of Zenobia and Odaenathus

Geraert Peemans1667

The Cathedral of Segovia

The Cathedral of Segovia
Segovia, Spain

This tapestry is part of the "Zenobia, Queen of Palmyra" series. It stands out for its length and is located after the tapestry depicting Zenobia's marriage. The scene is frozen in time as Odenathus raises a cup with his right hand while taking Zenobia's hand with his left, and she responds with a blush. The tapestry recreates a natural setting at dusk, reflected in the lit torches, musicians with trumpets, and a tiled floor that acts as a vanishing point toward the left of the panel.
