EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Story of Gideon" a magnificent tapestry from the late 16th century. Created by renowned artist Maerten van Heemskerck, this silk and wool masterpiece measures an impressive 371x406 cm and is currently housed in the Museo Diocesano in Albarracin, Teruel, Spain. The tapestry depicts a pivotal moment in the life of Gideon, a judge and warrior of the Hebrews. After leading his people to victory over their enemies, Gideon was offered rulership by the Israelites. However, he humbly declined, stating that only God should rule over them. Despite refusing power for himself, Gideon did request a reward from his fellow countrymen. He asked each person to give him a ring from their share of the plunder they had acquired during battle. Incredibly, these gold rings weighed around two hundred kilograms collectively. In this detailed section captured by photographer Maeyaert/AIC for Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we witness the Israelites fulfilling their promise to Gideon. They spread out a garment before him and one by one toss their rings onto it as an offering of gratitude. This print not only captures the exquisite craftsmanship and intricate details of Heemskerck's work but also tells a story steeped in biblical history and human nature's complex relationship with power and humility.
