Pluto and Proserpina with Falconry - A Tapestry of Mythical Beauty
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the exquisite artistry of Erasmus de Pannemaker, a renowned Flemish weaver from the 17th century. Inspired by an engraving by Adriaen Collaert after Hans Bol, this remarkable tapestry transports us to the idyllic countryside of Flanders in the 1600s. The central focus of the artwork is on Pluto and Proserpina, two mythical figures from Roman mythology. With their majestic falcons perched gracefully on their gloved hands, they epitomize power and grace. The richly colored fabric exudes warmth and vibrancy, bringing life to every intricate detail. Surrounded by a lush landscape adorned with garlands of flowers and fruits, these divine beings create a harmonious blend between nature and human existence. The horsemen in the background add an element of adventure as they engage in falconry hunts amidst this serene setting. Every thread woven into this masterpiece reflects centuries-old craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. It is a testament to Flanders' artistic heritage that continues to inspire awe even today. As we gaze upon this stunning piece at the Art Institute Chicago's gallery, we are transported back in time to witness a scene where gods walk among mortals, seamlessly blending myth with reality. This tapestry not only serves as an interior decoration but also tells stories passed down through generations—a true treasure for all lovers of art and history alike.
