EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable Flemish tapestry that depicts an enthralling episode from the life of Saul. Housed in the prestigious Museum of the Cathedral of Pienza, Siena, this exquisite piece showcases the mastery of Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. The tapestry transports viewers to a bygone era, where kings ruled over Israel or Judah. The scene is rich with symbolism and detail, showcasing both civilian and military figures adorned in elaborate headdresses and fashionable attire. Amidst them stands Saul himself, his regal presence commanding attention. Intriguingly, a donkey takes center stage in this artwork, serving as a terrestrial companion to one of the characters. This unexpected inclusion adds an element of surprise and curiosity to the composition. Surrounded by lush vegetation consisting of trees, flowers, leaves, and other vegetal elements beautifully woven into the fabric canvas itself; it becomes evident that nature plays an integral role in setting the tone for this biblical tale. Various objects such as baskets filled with fruits or offerings are scattered throughout the tapestry while lances and spears symbolize power dynamics within this historical narrative. Dating back to XVI century Flemish School craftsmanship at its finest is on display here. The intricate details meticulously woven into every thread showcase not only technical skill but also artistic brilliance. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print captured between 1920-1930 ca. , courtesy of Alinari Fratelli's lens; we can't help but be transported back through time to witness firsthand these significant moments from ancient history brought vibrantly to life through textile artistry.
