EDITORS COMMENTS
This Flemish tapestry, titled "Nobility (La Nobleza)", is a stunning piece of art that transports viewers back to the 16th century. The fourth tapestry in its series, it showcases the incredible talent of model cartoonists from the circle of Bernard van Orley and Jan Gossaert (Mabuse). Manufactured by Pieter van Aelst in Brussels around 1550, this masterpiece measures an impressive 500x860 cm. The fabric used for this tapestry is a combination of gold, silver, silk, and wool, creating a rich and luxurious texture. Its intricate design and vibrant colors make it truly stand out as a symbol of nobility and opulence. Currently housed at the Royal Palace of La Granja de San Ildefonso in Spain, this remarkable artwork was originally part of Emperor Charles V's collection. It now resides in the Tapestry Museum's Hall of Honours where visitors can marvel at its beauty. With its depiction of noble men and women dressed in elaborate attire surrounded by a bustling crowd, this tapestry offers us a glimpse into the social dynamics and grandeur of European society during that era. It serves as a reminder not only of the artistic skill involved but also reflects on themes such as power, status, and community. Paul Maeyaert's photograph captures every detail with precision while showcasing the vivid colors that bring this historical artifact to life. This image allows us to appreciate both the craftsmanship behind these magnificent textiles as well as their enduring cultural significance.
