Created by the renowned Atelier Francois Geubels, this exquisite piece belongs to the series "Story of Gideon" and depicts the dramatic scene of "The defeat of the Midianites". Crafted from silk and wool, this baroque masterpiece was generously bequeathed to the museum by Bishop Vicente Roca de la Serna. Its intricate details and vibrant colors transport viewers back to 16th-century Europe, where it has been proudly displayed in the cathedral since 1608. The artist behind this magnificent tapestry is Maerten van Heemskerck, who lived from 1498 to 1574. The Museo Diocesano in Albarracin, Teruel, Spain now houses this precious artwork as part of its collection. This visually stunning piece not only represents a significant period in art history but also tells a biblical story with great power. It portrays an army's triumphant victory over their enemies and captures both the intensity of combat and the glory that follows success. With its rich symbolism and meticulous craftsmanship, this Flemish tapestry stands as a testament to European artistic excellence during the Baroque era. Its combination of white wool, silk velvet, and other textiles creates a mesmerizing texture that adds depth and dimension to every thread woven into its fabric.
