EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable tapestry fragment depicting vintagers, possibly from Tournai, dating back to the late 15th century. Measuring an impressive 96.5x330.2 cm, this woolen masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Burrell Collection in Glasgow, Scotland. The image transports us to a time when manual labor was at the heart of grape cultivation and winemaking. The skilled workers depicted are diligently engaged in their tasks amidst lush vineyards adorned with grapevines and currants. Men and women alike can be seen weaving fabric or picking grapes into baskets, showcasing the collaborative effort required for successful viticulture. Belonging to the Belgian School of artistry, this tapestry fragment beautifully captures not only the essence of wine trade but also provides insight into everyday life during that era. The attention to detail is evident as each thread weaves together a narrative of hard work and dedication. As we admire this piece, it serves as a reminder of our rich European heritage and its deep-rooted connection with winemaking traditions. This artwork symbolizes more than just craftsmanship; it represents centuries-old techniques passed down through generations. Bridgeman Images has masterfully captured this historical treasure without compromising its authenticity or commercial use restrictions. Through their lens, they have allowed us to appreciate the beauty and significance of textiles like these within our cultural landscape.
