EDITORS COMMENTS
This Flemish tapestry, titled "Hercules supporting the celestial sphere" is a true masterpiece of artistry and craftsmanship. Created between 1525-1530, it is the first tapestry in a series known as "The Spheres". The model for this stunning piece is believed to be either Barend van Orley or Pieter Coecke van Aelst. Measuring an impressive 345x308 cm, this tapestry showcases intricate details and vibrant colors. It was manufactured by Joris Vezeleer (Georg Wezeler) in Brussels before 1535. The fabric used includes gold, silver, silk, and wool, adding richness and texture to the artwork. Currently housed at the Palacio Real de la Granja de San Ildefonso in La Granja, Spain, this tapestry has a fascinating history. It was originally part of the collection of João III of Portugal and Catherine of Austria before becoming part of Philip II's collection. Now on display at the Tapestry Museum within the Royal Palace complex, it serves as a testament to both its historical significance and artistic value. Its size alone commands attention while its exquisite design transports viewers into a world where Hercules supports the celestial sphere with strength and grace. Thanks to photographer Paul Maeyaert's skillful capture, we can appreciate every detail of this remarkable work from afar.
