EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a mesmerizing detail from "The Revelations" an extraordinary collection of eight panels woven in Brussels during the sixteenth century. The panel depicted here showcases the intricate craftsmanship and vibrant colors that define Flemish tapestries of this era. Created by renowned artists Juan de Gheteels and Van Orley, these tapestries were commissioned for the Royal Palace in Brussels and have since become treasured pieces of heritage. Each panel tells a story from the Book of Revelation, depicting scenes from the apocalypse with remarkable attention to detail. In this particular image, we are presented with a close-up view of the right lateral section of one of the clothes. The vertical composition allows us to appreciate every delicate thread and color choice made by these masterful weavers. The rich hues harmonize beautifully, creating a visual feast for our eyes. It is fascinating to think about how these tapestries have survived through centuries, preserving not only religious narratives but also historical moments frozen in time. This specific print was captured by Santiago Ortega at the National Heritage Museum in Madrid, Spain – a testament to their global significance. As we admire this photograph, let us celebrate both the artistic mastery behind "The Revelations" and its ability to connect communities across borders and generations through shared appreciation for cultural treasures like these Flemish tapestries.
