EDITORS COMMENTS
This Flemish tapestry, titled "Fame (La Fama)" is a true masterpiece of art and craftsmanship. Created in the 16th century by talented artists from the circle of Bernard van Orley and Jan Gossaert, this tapestry showcases their exceptional skills in design and composition. Measuring an impressive 505x1030 cm, this piece was manufactured by Pieter van Aelst in Brussels around 1550. The use of gold, silver, silk, and wool fabric adds a touch of luxury to the artwork. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring life to every element depicted on the tapestry. Currently housed at the Royal Palace of La Granja de San Ildefonso in Spain, this magnificent piece is part of "The Honours" series. It represents Fame as its central theme with various symbolic elements incorporated throughout. From white wool balls symbolizing common people to gilded accents representing wealth and power, each detail tells a story within itself. Displayed proudly in the Hall of Honours at the Tapestry Museum within the palace grounds, this tapestry serves as a testament to both Flemish artistry and Spanish history. Its grandeur captures attention while its historical significance leaves viewers awe-inspired. Paul Maeyaert's photograph beautifully captures all these aspects - from its size to its intricate details - allowing us to appreciate this remarkable work even if we cannot see it firsthand.
