EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Story of Gideon" a magnificent tapestry created in the late 16th century by Maerten van Heemskerck. Measuring an impressive 371x481 cm, this silk and wool masterpiece is housed in the Museo Diocesano in Albarracin, Teruel, Spain. The tapestry depicts scenes from the biblical story of Gideon, a judge and warrior of the Hebrews. In this particular panel, we witness Gideon and his chosen warriors awakening early in the morning to embark on their mission. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this ancient tale to life. Designed by Maarten van Heemskerck and manufactured by Frans Geubels in Brussels, these stunning tapestries are part of a larger series known as "Story of Gideon". Each piece tells a different episode from Gideon's journey as described in Judges 7:1. The Flemish art style shines through with its meticulous attention to detail and rich color palette. This artwork serves not only as a visual feast but also as an important historical artifact reflecting religious themes prevalent during that time. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back to the Renaissance era when military camps were bustling with activity under sunny skies. The presence of flags fluttering proudly adds another layer of symbolism to this powerful composition. Overall, this print captures both the artistic mastery and spiritual significance embodied within "Story of Gideon" making it an invaluable addition to any collection or exhibition dedicated to European art history.
