EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed section of a Flemish tapestry from the series "The Legend of the Madonna of the Sablon". Created by renowned cartoonist Barend van Orley between 1516 and 1518, this masterpiece was manufactured in Brussels during the height of Flemish art. The depicted scene is titled "The Arrival of the statue of the Madonna" capturing a significant moment in religious history. Intricately woven with vibrant colors and exquisite craftsmanship, this tapestry transports viewers to sixteenth-century Belgium. It portrays an event steeped in legend and myth surrounding the arrival of a sacred statue representing the Virgin Mary. The sculpture holds immense significance within Catholicism, symbolizing devotion and spirituality. Every thread tells a story as it brings to life biblical themes, including references to St. Mary, Queen of Heaven, Mater Dei (Mother God), Regina Coeli (Queen of Heaven), and other revered titles associated with the Blessed Virgin Mary. Displayed at Musees Royaux d'Art et d'Histoire in Brussels, this artwork exemplifies Flemish artistic excellence while honoring religious traditions deeply rooted in European culture. Its intricate details invite contemplation and admiration for both its historical context and aesthetic beauty. Through this photograph's lens captured by Paul Maeyaert, we are transported back through time to witness one small fragment from an extraordinary tapestry that continues to inspire awe centuries later.
