EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Tapestry with the Assumption of the Virgin" a masterpiece created by the Anversa Workshop and located in the counter facade of Como Cathedral. Dating back to 1585, this tapestry is a remarkable representation of Late Renaissance, Renaissance, and Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods. The photograph itself was captured around 1920-30 by Alinari, Fratelli. It beautifully captures every intricate detail of this stunning artwork. The Flemish School artist behind this creation remains unknown but has left an indelible mark on art history. In this tapestry, we are transported into a celestial realm where clouds envelop the scene as if touched by divine intervention. At its center stands the Virgin Mary herself, gracefully ascending towards heaven in her assumption. She is accompanied by angels and figures representing life and representations of the virgin. The composition also includes male figures dressed in fashionable clothing from that era, adding a touch of realism to this ethereal depiction. The landscape surrounding them features rolling hillsides that create a serene backdrop for these heavenly beings. Notably, there is also a sculpture-like sarcophagus adorned with acanthus leaves and other herbaceous plants symbolizing growth and vitality. A majestic tree completes the frieze-like composition while evoking biblical references from both New Testament stories and European religious traditions. This print serves as an homage to not only exceptional craftsmanship but also to Europe's rich artistic heritage spanning over two millennia. It invites viewers to marvel at how art transcends time through its ability to captivate our senses even centuries after its creation.
