EDITORS COMMENTS
This Flemish tapestry, titled "Honour (El Honor)" is a stunning example of 16th-century European art. 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 piece showcases the incredible craftsmanship and attention to detail that was characteristic of Flemish tapestries during this period. Measuring an impressive 500x1000 cm, this tapestry is made from a combination of gold, silver, silk, and wool fabric. Its intricate design features a crowd scene with people gathered together in what appears to be a grand hall or courtyard. The use of white wool creates depth and texture within the composition while gilding adds a touch of opulence. Currently housed at the Royal Palace of La Granja de San Ildefonso in Spain's Castilla y Leon region, this tapestry is part of Emperor Charles V's collection. It can be found on display in the Hall of Honours at the Tapestry Museum. The image captured by Paul Maeyaert beautifully highlights both the scale and intricacy of this remarkable artwork. From afar, one can appreciate its overall grandeur; however, upon closer inspection, one can marvel at each individual thread woven into its richly detailed scenes. This Flemish tapestry serves as not only a testament to the skillful craftsmanship but also as a window into history—a glimpse into life during Europe's vibrant Renaissance era.
