EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Flemish tapestry housed in the Diocesan Museum (Museo Diocesano) in Brussels. Created by the renowned Atelier Francois Geubels, this particular piece belongs to the series Story of Gideon and depicts The Miracle of the Woollen Fleece (Prueba del vellon de lana). Crafted from silk and wool, it was generously bequeathed by Bishop Vicente Roca de la Serna. Dating back to the Baroque period between 1534-1571, this tapestry has graced the cathedral since 1608. The artist behind this masterpiece is Maerten van Heemskerck, whose attention to detail and skillful execution are evident in every thread. The vibrant colors and intricate design bring to life a biblical scene from the story of Gideon. This awe-inspiring artwork captures a momentous event where a white ball of wool miraculously becomes soaked with dew while surrounding ground remains dry—an extraordinary testament to divine intervention. As an object of great historical significance, this tapestry exemplifies both artistic excellence and religious devotion. Its presence within the museum's collection adds depth and richness to Spain's cultural heritage. Paul Maeyaert expertly captures all these elements through his lens, allowing viewers worldwide to appreciate not only its beauty but also its profound symbolism. This print serves as a reminder that art transcends time and place, connecting us with stories that have shaped our collective human experience for centuries.
