EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable tapestry depicting hunting scenes, believed to be from Tournai and dating back to around 1500. Created by the Belgian School in the 16th century, this exquisite piece measures an impressive 233.7x218.5 cm and is currently housed in the Burrell Collection in Glasgow, Scotland. The tapestry transports us into a world of vibrant colors and intricate details as it captures various hunting moments within its woven fabric. The scene features majestic trees that provide shelter for both hunters and their loyal hounds, who eagerly participate in the chase. A sense of anticipation fills the air as men on horseback prepare their bows while others stand ready with spears. The craftsmanship displayed in this textile masterpiece is truly awe-inspiring. Every thread meticulously woven together brings life to each figure, animal, and landscape depicted within its borders. The attention to detail is particularly evident in the depiction of deer gracefully leaping through the forest undergrowth. As we admire this stunning artwork, we are reminded of the rich history and cultural heritage that tapestries hold across Europe. They not only serve as decorative pieces but also tell stories of pastimes like hunting that were once cherished traditions among European nobility. Through this print by Bridgeman Images, we can appreciate both the artistic skill behind such creations and gain insight into a bygone era where man's connection with nature was celebrated through artistry and craftsmanship.
