EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite tapestry titled "Apollo and Daphne" designed by Charles de La Fosse, with a cartoon created by Zeger Jacob van Helmont for the figures and Augustin Coppens for the landscape. Woven in Brussels at the renowned workshop of Urbanus Leyniers, Dania'l Leyniers II, and Hendrik Reydams II between 1713-1721, this masterpiece is a testament to their exceptional craftsmanship. The tapestry features an undyed wool warp that beautifully contrasts with the vibrant dyed wool and silk weft used to depict Apollo's pursuit of Daphne in Greek mythology. The intricate details bring life to each figure as they are skillfully woven into existence. Charles de La Fosse's design captures the dramatic moment when Apollo reaches out to touch Daphne just as she transforms into a laurel tree. The composition is harmoniously balanced, showcasing his mastery of form and movement. Zeger Jacob van Helmont's figures exhibit remarkable realism while Augustin Coppens' landscape provides a lush backdrop filled with meticulously crafted foliage and serene landscapes. Quint Lox has expertly captured this extraordinary piece through his lens, allowing viewers to appreciate its beauty from afar. This print serves as a reminder of the timeless artistry found within historical tapestries like "Apollo and Daphne" preserving their legacy for generations to come.
