EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate detail of the History of Saint Piat and Saint Eleuthere, also known as the tapestry of Arras. Commissioned by canon Toussaint Prier, chaplain of the duke of Burgundy, in the late 14th to early 15th century, this monumental piece measures an impressive 22 meters by 2 meters.
The scene depicted in this particular detail showcases Hireneus giving the keys to Notre-Dame de Tournai, making him the first baptized citizen of Tournai. The city's fortification walls are prominently featured in the background, adding depth and context to this historical moment.
The craftsmanship and artistry displayed in this tapestry are truly remarkable, showcasing a blend of religious symbolism and medieval storytelling. Each stitch tells a story that has stood the test of time and continues to captivate viewers centuries later.
Located at Cathedrale de Notre-Dame in Tournai, Belgium, this tapestry is part of a larger collection that includes depictions of Saint Piat and Saint Eleuthere. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and religious devotion during the Middle Ages.
