EDITORS COMMENTS
This Flemish tapestry, titled "Prudence (La Prudencia)" is a true masterpiece of the 16th century. Created by model cartoonists from the circle of Bernard van Orley and Jan Gossaert (Mabuse), and manufactured by Pieter van Aelst in Brussels around 1550, this piece showcases the incredible skill and artistry of its creators. Measuring an impressive 490x820 cm, this tapestry is made from a combination of gold, silver, silk, and wool fabric. Its intricate design features delicate details that bring each element to life. The use of metallic threads adds a touch of opulence to the overall composition. Currently housed at the Palacio Real de la Granja de San Ildefonso in La Granja, Spain, this tapestry was originally part of Emperor Charles V's collection. It now resides in the Tapestry Museum's Hall of Honours for all visitors to admire. The image itself depicts scenes from everyday life during the 16th century in Castilla y Leon province. With its rich colors and realistic portrayal of people going about their daily activities, it offers a glimpse into history like no other medium can. This Flemish tapestry serves as a testament to the talent and craftsmanship that existed during this period.
