EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a textile fragment from the Dalmatic of San Valerius, a silk garment adorned with gilt animal substrate around a silk core. Created by the Spanish School in the 13th century, this piece measures 7.6x12.1 cm and is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Originally part of an Andalusian-made dalmatic, this brocaded textile holds great significance as it belongs to a collection of vestments associated with Saint Valerius, who served as the bishop of Saragossa from 290 to 315. During the eleventh century, his remains were transferred to the Cathedral of San Vicente de Roda de Isábena in Lerida (Catalonia), and relics were subsequently distributed to other churches. Crafted with intricate detail and precision, these textiles were specifically made to honor and venerate Saint Valerius on his feast day. The ornate embroidery features interlacing geometric patterns that reflect both European Gothic influences and Moorish decorative elements. The fragment captures an abstract representation within its tapestry-like design, showcasing knotwork motifs intertwined with delicate ornamentation. Its rich history and exquisite craftsmanship make it not only a religious artifact but also an artistic masterpiece that exemplifies medieval textile artistry. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its beauty and historical significance.
