EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning pattern for a tapestry in bronze thread, featuring the classical figure of Apollo with his lyre or cithara. Created by D. Sluyter in the 18th century, this handcoloured copperplate engraving is part of Anna Barbara van Meertens' renowned work "Penelope, Or Maandwerk aan het Vrouwelijk Geslacht Toegewijd" (Penelope, Monthly Magazine dedicated to the Female Sex), published in Amsterdam in 1821. Anna Barbara van Meertens was not only an educator and writer but also a pioneer in women's rights in Holland. Her dedication to empowering women shines through her literary contributions and advocacy efforts. The intricate design depicted here combines elements of music, art, and interior decoration. The lyre symbolizes harmony and creativity while representing Apollo as the god of music. This exquisite pattern would have been used for needlework embroidery or even as inspiration for furniture furnishings during that era. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage found within Dutch literature and craftsmanship. It serves as a testament to the importance of preserving historical artifacts that celebrate both artistic expression and gender equality.
