EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning tapestry, titled "The Mass of Saint Gregory," is a masterpiece of Flemish art created in the 16th century. The work is attributed to Pieter van Aelst, a Brussels painter who is considered a successor to Roger van der Weyden's pictorial tradition. The tapestry was manufactured in Brussels, and its intricate design is based on models of Colijn de Coter. The tapestry measures an impressive 342 x 407 cm and features the Mass of Saint Gregory as its central theme. To the right and left of the central scene are the figures of Prophet David and Saint Augustine. The tapestry is adorned with gold, silver, silk, and wool, adding to its grandeur and opulence. This tapestry is a testament to the artistic prowess of the Flemish school of painting, which was renowned for its intricate detail and mastery of color. The use of gold and silver threads, as well as the delicate silk and wool, adds to the richness and texture of the piece. The tapestry was once housed in the Royal Palace of La Granja de San Ildefonso in Segovia, Spain, in the region of Castile and Leon. The palace, which was built as a summer residence for the Spanish royal family, is renowned for its impressive collection of art and historical significance. The Mass of Saint Gregory tapestry is a prime example of the artistic collaboration between weavers and painters during the Renaissance period in Europe. It is a visual feast for the eyes, showcasing the intricacy and beauty of Flemish art at its finest.
