EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable tapestry fragment from the 15th century, depicting the Virgin and Child with St James. Crafted using a combination of wool and linen, this exquisite piece measures 88.9x71.1 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Burrell Collection in Glasgow, Scotland. The Swiss School's artistic mastery shines through in every intricate detail of this textile marvel. The rich colors and delicate weaving techniques transport viewers to a bygone era, evoking a sense of awe and reverence for its religious subject matter. In this scene, we see the graceful figure of the Virgin Mary cradling baby Jesus while St James stands beside them. Haloes adorn their heads as symbols of divinity, illuminating their sacred presence. The tapestry captures not only the spiritual significance but also highlights the skillful craftsmanship involved in creating such an elaborate work. The inclusion of coast of arms adds an intriguing element to this composition, hinting at historical context or perhaps personal significance for those who commissioned it. Through this photo print, we are invited to appreciate both the beauty and cultural importance that textiles hold within art history. It serves as a testament to human creativity and devotion throughout centuries past – an enduring symbol that continues to inspire awe today.
