EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent Flemish tapestry from the series "The Passion of Christ". Titled "The way to Calvary and encounter with Veronica" this is the first tapestry among those preserved by National Heritage. Created between 1511-1518, it was designed by model cartoonists from the circle of Jan van Roome and Bernard van Orley, while Pieter van Aelst handled its manufacture in Brussels. Measuring an impressive 298x309 cm, this tapestry is composed of gold, silver, silk, and wool fabrics. It currently resides in the Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial in Madrid, Spain. Originally part of Margaret of Austria's collection inherited by Charles V, it now graces the Hall of Honour alongside other remarkable pieces like the Baldachin of Margaret or Canopy of Charles V. With its intricate details and vibrant colors, this Flemish tapestry captures a pivotal moment in Christian history. The scene depicts Jesus' journey to Calvary as he encounters Veronica along the way. This powerful image evokes emotions and invites viewers to reflect on Christ's sacrifice. Photographer Paul Maeyaert has skillfully captured every nuance and texture present in this extraordinary artwork. Through his lens, we can appreciate not only its historical significance but also its artistic brilliance. This print serves as a testament to both the craftsmanship behind these ancient textiles and their enduring beauty that continues to captivate audiences today.
