EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable tapestry depicting two scenes from Der Busant, also known as "The Buzzard" originating from Alsace between 1475 and 1500. Created by the French School in the 15th century, this exquisite piece is crafted using wool, silk, and metal threads. Measuring at an impressive size of 77.4x62.2 cm, this tapestry can be found in the Burrell Collection in Glasgow, Scotland. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life a rich narrative that unfolds within its woven fabric. In one scene depicted on the tapestry, we witness a group of horses grazing peacefully amidst lush landscapes adorned with beautiful flowers and plants. A female figure reclines nearby while wearing a crown, adding an air of regality to the composition. In another scene, we see a man resting under a tree while writing on what appears to be text or parchment. A woman stands beside him with her attention seemingly focused on something beyond our view. The combination of these two distinct scenes creates an intriguing juxtaposition between nature's tranquility and human activity. It invites us to ponder upon themes such as leisurely contemplation versus industrious work or perhaps even love and courtship. This extraordinary artwork exemplifies the mastery of weaving techniques employed during this period while showcasing both male and female figures engaged in various activities amidst beautifully rendered landscapes.
