EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Flemish tapestry from the Diocesan Museum in Brussels. Created by the renowned Atelier Francois Geubels, this exquisite piece belongs to the series "Story of Gideon" and depicts a pivotal moment known as "The Warriors are Chosen" (La eleccion de los guerreros). Crafted with silk and wool, it is an extraordinary example of Baroque artistry. Originally bequeathed by Bishop Vicente Roca de la Serna, this tapestry has been housed in the cathedral since 1608. Its creation dates back to the late 16th century, between 1534 and 1571. The artist behind this masterpiece is Maerten van Heemskerck, whose talent shines through every intricate detail. The scene depicted in this artwork transports viewers into a biblical narrative. Vibrant colors bring life to each character and event portrayed on the tapestry. From warriors clad in armor to female soldiers standing proudly alongside their male counterparts, it captures both military might and unity. Wool plays a significant role within this composition; its white fibers symbolize purity amidst conflict. A ball of wool serves as an intriguing object within the tapestry's design, adding depth and intrigue. As we admire this historical treasure from Spain's Museo Diocesano in Albarracin, Teruel, we are reminded of Europe's rich artistic heritage. This Flemish artwork not only represents exceptional craftsmanship but also offers insight into biblical stories that have shaped our cultural history for centuries.
