EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate detail of the History of Saint Piat and Saint Eleuthere, also known as the tapestry of Arras. Commissioned by canon Toussaint Prier, chaplain of the duke of Burgundy, in the late 14th to early 15th century, this monumental piece measures an impressive 22m x 2m.
In this particular scene depicted in the tapestry, we see how Saint Piat founded the church of Notre-Dame de Tournai and created its baptismal font. The image shows the saint alongside bricklayers working diligently on constructing this important religious site. The craftsmanship and attention to detail in portraying each figure is truly remarkable.
The tapestry itself is housed at Cathedrale de Notre-Dame in Tournai, Belgium, where it remains a cherished piece of historical art. This work not only showcases religious significance but also provides insight into medieval construction practices and daily life during that time period.
Photographer Paul Maeyaert has expertly captured this moment from history with precision and clarity. His photograph allows viewers to appreciate the skill and artistry involved in creating such a masterpiece centuries ago. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and artistic legacy that continues to inspire us today.
