EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a tapestry titled "The Parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard" created around 1500 by Coecke van Aelst, Pieter. The tapestry, measuring an impressive 410x620 cm, is housed in the Catedral de Zamora in Castilla y Leon, Spain. The central scene depicts the moment when workers receive their wages from the steward in the house of the "Pater familias" illustrating a biblical parable about fairness and justice. This second series cloth was possibly manufactured in Brussels under Pieter van Aelst's workshops using silk and wool threads with six stitches per centimeter. The image captures multiple people dressed in togas, representing various social classes during Europe's early modern era. The Flemish style artwork reflects its time through intricate details and vibrant colors that bring life to this allegorical representation. Through this masterpiece, we are reminded of moral values such as hard work and equality. It serves as a visual reminder of religious teachings while also providing insight into agricultural practices during the 15th century. With its rich historical context and artistic significance, this print offers viewers a glimpse into Western art history and decorative arts. Its presence within the Cathedral Museum adds to its cultural importance while showcasing Belgium's influence on textile production during that period. Overall, this stunning piece invites contemplation on themes such as labor, economy, society, religion, and administration – making it an essential addition to any art enthusiast's collection.
