EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and intricate print captures the essence of "Abundantia, from The Four Continents and Related Allegories" with stunning detail. Created in Brussels during the late 17th century, this masterpiece was woven at the renowned workshop of Albert Auwercx. The artwork itself is based on a cartoon by Lodewijk van Schoor and Pieter Spierinckx. The allegorical figure of Abundantia takes center stage, representing abundance and prosperity. Adorned with a garland of flowers in her hair, she holds a cornucopia overflowing with fruits and coins symbolizing wealth. Her hand gestures exude grace as she showcases the bountiful treasures bestowed upon her. Surrounded by lush floral motifs, Abundantia stands amidst four continents: Africa, America (represented by an indigenous American Indian), Asia (depicted as an Asian figure), and Europe (not shown). This tapestry beautifully portrays the interconnectedness between different cultures during the Baroque era. The use of color is strikingly vivid, highlighting every intricate detail within this Belgian artwork. Feathers delicately embellish Abundantia's attire while gold coins glimmer against a backdrop of rich fabric. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's art gallery, this piece serves as a testament to Flanders' artistic school heritage. Its historical significance lies not only in its beauty but also in its representation of wealth and finance throughout history. As you gaze upon this print, let it transport you back to a time when artistry flourished alongside cultural exchange – where abundance was celebrated through exquisite craftsmanship.
