EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable tapestry depicting the Flight into Egypt, believed to have been created between 1400-25 in the Convent of Gnadental, Basel. Crafted with wool and metal threads by the Swiss School in the 15th century, this textile masterpiece measures 93.9x77.4 cm and is currently housed in the Burrell Collection in Glasgow, Scotland. The tapestry vividly portrays an important biblical scene from the New Testament – Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus fleeing to Egypt on a donkey's back while being guided by an angel. The composition beautifully captures their journey as they seek refuge from King Herod's wrath. Every intricate detail of this artwork reflects exceptional craftsmanship and devotion to religious storytelling. The delicate weaving technique employed by female artisans within the convent brings life to each figure depicted – from Mary's serene expression to Joseph's protective stance. Through its rich symbolism and religious significance, this tapestry serves as a testament to Christian faith and devotion during medieval times. It not only represents a historical artifact but also provides insight into the cultural practices of that era. As we admire this magnificent piece of artistry, we are transported back in time – witnessing both human vulnerability and divine protection intertwined within its fabric. This print allows us to appreciate the skillful mastery behind such creations while reminding us of timeless stories that continue to inspire generations across different religions worldwide.
