EDITORS COMMENTS
This Flemish tapestry, titled "Infamy (La Infamia)" is a stunning piece of art that transports viewers back to the 16th century. The sixth tapestry in "The Honours" series, it showcases the remarkable talent of model cartoonists from the circle of Bernard van Orley and Jan Gossaert (Mabuse). Manufactured by Pieter van Aelst in Brussels around 1550, this masterpiece measures an impressive 495x850 cm. Made with a combination of gold, silver, silk, and wool fabric, this tapestry exudes opulence and grandeur. Its intricate details and vibrant colors make it a true feast for the eyes. Currently housed at the Royal Palace of La Granja de San Ildefonso in Spain's Segovia province, it holds great historical significance as part of Emperor Charles V's collection. Displayed in the Hall of Honours at the Tapestry Museum within the palace grounds, this work exemplifies both artistic skill and storytelling prowess. It depicts scenes that capture common people going about their daily lives during that era. Paul Maeyaert's photograph beautifully captures every aspect of this magnificent artwork. From its rich colors to its exquisite craftsmanship, his lens brings out all its splendor. This Flemish tapestry serves as a testament to Europe's rich cultural heritage and reminds us how art can transcend time to tell stories from centuries past.
