"The Golden Fleece: A Mythical Quest and Honorable Order" Step into the world of legends and chivalry as we unravel the captivating tale of the Golden Fleece. Dating back to 1290, a remarkable Mappa Mundi on vellum known as "The King of Arms of the Order of the Golden Fleece" provides us with a glimpse into this ancient myth. Jacques de Lalaing, an esteemed member of this prestigious order, is immortalized in writing that speaks volumes about his valor and honor. The sailing ship named Golden Fleece, depicted in a vibrant color lithograph, symbolizes the adventurous spirit associated with this legendary quest. A magnificent tapestry from Tournai transports us to Jason's epic journey in search of the coveted fleece. Crafted meticulously from wool around 1510, it showcases his determination amidst mythical landscapes. Intriguing portraits bring forth key figures adorned with the chain of the Order. Ferdinand Alvarez de Toledo y Pimentel, also known as Iron Duke, stands resolute in armor embellished with skulls and weaponry. Alexandre Farnese exudes regal elegance wearing lace ruff collar and breastplate while clutching his baton. Jason's encounter with Colchian Dragon comes alive through a mesmerizing artwork created between 1766-1770. Its vivid depiction captures both danger and bravery intertwined within Greek mythology. Medea emerges as a complex character whose actions stir emotions ranging from awe to horror. Asis de Borbon's oil painting portrays Francisco Medea powerfully while her tragic act unfolds - casting her young brother into treacherous waters. Another canvas masterpiece titled "The Disillusioned Medea" evokes empathy for her shattered soul after experiencing heartbreaks caused by love and betrayal. Through various artistic interpretations over centuries, Medea's story intertwines seamlessly with Jason’s heroic exploits during their pursuit for the Golden Fleece.
