EDITORS COMMENTS
The print of "Las Hilanderas" by Diego Velasquez captures a moment in time that is steeped in mythology and artistry. This Baroque masterpiece, created in 1657 but printed in the 1930s, showcases the intricate tapestry workshop of Santa Isabel. At first glance, it appears to depict women diligently working on their craft, but upon closer inspection, the iconography reveals a deeper story. The image alludes to Ovid's Fable of Arachne, where mortal Arachne challenges the goddess Athena to a weaving competition. In an act of jealousy after losing to Arachne's superior skills, Athena transforms her into a spider. The painting beautifully merges this mythological tale with scenes from everyday life. Within this richly colored canvas lies an array of details: spinning wheels turning tirelessly as workers laboriously create tapestries; women engrossed in their tasks inside the workshop walls; and machinery symbolizing progress and industry during the seventeenth century. This print transports us back to a golden age when craftsmanship thrived and Greek mythology influenced artistic expression. Held at Museo del Prado in Madrid today, this work continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and narrative complexity. As we gaze upon "Las Hilanderas" we are reminded not only of Velasquez's mastery as an artist but also of the enduring power that myths hold over our collective imagination.
