EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Flemish tapestry from the 16th century, depicting one of the Labours of Hercules. The scene portrayed is Hercules and the Stymphalian birds, set against a backdrop of mythological wonder. Created around 1528 by an unknown model, this masterpiece was manufactured by Willem Dermoyen in Brussels. Measuring an impressive 362 x 403 cm, this silk and wool fabric tapestry resides in the Royal Palace of Madrid as part of Philip II's collection. Currently on display at the Royal Armoury, it exudes both antiquity and artistry. The vibrant colors bring life to this ancient tale, with Hercules depicted as a powerful figure battling menacing birds. This portrayal not only highlights his strength but also captures elements of paganism and mythology prevalent during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to a time when polytheism held sway over religious beliefs. It serves as a reminder of Spain's rich cultural heritage and its connection to European history. Paul Maeyaert's skillful photography perfectly captures every intricate detail of this textile artwork. From the feathers on each bird to the texture of the fabric itself, his lens brings out their true essence. This print is more than just an object; it represents centuries-old traditions and stories passed down through generations. It allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance within Spanish culture.
