EDITORS COMMENTS
This Flemish tapestry, titled "Infamy (La Infamia)" is a stunning example of 16th-century artistry. Created around 1550 by model cartoonists from the circle of Bernard van Orley and Jan Gossaert, and manufactured by Pieter van Aelst in Brussels, this tapestry showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of the time. Measuring an impressive 495x850 cm, this piece is made from a combination of gold, silver, silk, and wool fabric. It currently resides in the Royal Palace of La Granja de San Ildefonso in Spain's Castilla y Leon region. The tapestry depicts scenes of debauchery and profligacy that were prevalent during the Middle Ages. The intricate details are brought to life through gilding techniques on golden metallic threads and luxurious silk velvet materials. Displayed in the Hall of Honours at the Tapestry Museum within the palace grounds, this artwork offers a glimpse into Spanish history under Emperor Charles V's reign. Its size alone commands attention while its rich colors and meticulous design captivate viewers. As we admire this remarkable piece today, it serves as a testament to both Flemish artistry and European cultural heritage. The tapestry transports us back to a time when textiles like these played an essential role in depicting stories and conveying messages through their intricate designs. Paul Maeyaert's photograph beautifully captures every detail of this magnificent work for all to appreciate its historical significance for generations to come.
