EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable tapestry panel depicting the Dishonest Miller, created by the Swiss School in Basel between 1460 and 1480. Measuring 91.4x110.4 cm, this exquisite piece is housed in the Burrell Collection in Glasgow, Scotland. The intricate design of this textile masterpiece tells a compelling story of dishonesty and trickery. The weaving technique beautifully captures the essence of each character portrayed - from cunning men to virtuous women - as they navigate through a parable filled with deceit. Intriguingly, amidst the vibrant colors and detailed patterns, we see chickens and cockerels symbolizing grain pouring out from a miller's bag. This clever representation adds depth to the narrative while showcasing the skillful craftsmanship involved in creating such an elaborate tapestry. The combination of wool and linen threads used in its creation further enhances its visual appeal, adding texture and dimension to every stitch. It is truly awe-inspiring how these talented weavers were able to bring this scene to life using only fabric. As you gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork captured by Bridgeman Images, take a moment to appreciate not just its aesthetic beauty but also the timeless message it conveys about human nature and morality.
