EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate tapestry titled "A Moral Allegory of Man or Justice Attacking Man" created in Flanders, Belgium around 1500. The tapestry, made from a combination of wool and silk, measures an impressive 416.5x462.2 cm and is currently housed in the Burrell Collection in Glasgow, Scotland. The artwork belongs to the Flemish School of the 16th century and depicts a thought-provoking allegorical scene. In this composition, we witness personifications of justice and man engaged in a dramatic confrontation. The female figure symbolizing justice appears powerful and determined as she launches an attack on the male figure representing mankind. Through its allegoric nature, this tapestry invites viewers to ponder deeper meanings about morality and human behavior. It serves as a reminder that justice can be both relentless and impartial when it comes to holding individuals accountable for their actions. The craftsmanship displayed within this piece is truly remarkable; every thread meticulously woven together to create vibrant figures with incredible detail. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only the artistry but also offers us a glimpse into history by preserving this significant work from centuries ago.
