EDITORS COMMENTS
This Flemish tapestry, titled "Virtue (La Virtu, El Vicio)" is a true masterpiece from the 16th century. Created by model cartoonists from the circle of Bernard van Orley and Jan Gossaert, and manufactured by Pieter van Aelst in Brussels around 1550, it showcases the incredible skill and artistry of its creators. Measuring an impressive 510x840 cm, this tapestry is made with a combination of gold, silver, silk, and wool fabric. Its intricate design and vibrant colors make it a striking piece to behold. Currently housed in the Royal Palace of La Granja de San Ildefonso in Spain's Castille and Leon region, it is part of Emperor Charles V's collection. Displayed proudly in the Hall of Honours at the Tapestry Museum within the palace grounds, this tapestry tells a story through its detailed imagery. It depicts various virtuous scenes that inspire viewers with their moral lessons. The craftsmanship displayed here reflects not only the talent but also the dedication put into creating such magnificent works during this period. The attention to detail is evident in every stitch woven into this textile masterpiece. As you gaze upon this remarkable artwork captured beautifully by Paul Maeyaert's photography skills for Fine Art Finder cataloging purposes; let yourself be transported back to a time when tapestries were more than just decorative pieces – they were windows into history and culture.
