EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intensity and drama of "The Battle of the Israelites and Amelikites" from the workshop of Frans and Pieter van der Borcht. The silk tapestry, created by Jan van Orley, depicts a pivotal moment in history when the Israelites were engaged in a fierce battle against their enemies. In this scene, we witness Moses raising his arms high as a symbol of divine intervention. It is said that whenever Moses raised his arms, the Israelites gained an upper hand in the battle. To ensure he could maintain this position for as long as possible, Aaron and Hur stood beside him to support his tired limbs. The battleground is filled with wounded soldiers on both sides, showcasing the brutal reality of war. The injured warriors seek medical attention while others continue fighting valiantly despite their injuries. Horses gallop across the hillside carrying brave soldiers into combat. This exquisite Brussels tapestry not only showcases skilled craftsmanship but also tells a story of resilience and faith amidst adversity. It reminds us that victory often requires collective effort and unwavering determination. As we admire this textile masterpiece from Leeds Museums and Art Galleries at Temple Newsam House in the UK, we are transported back to ancient times where battles were fought with swords instead of words. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder of our shared human history and our enduring quest for peace amid chaos.
