EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate details of "Story of Gideon" a late 16th-century tapestry created by Maerten van Heemskerck. Measuring an impressive 371x403 cm, this silk and wool masterpiece resides in the Museo Diocesano in Albarracin, Teruel, Spain. The tapestry depicts a scene from the Old Testament's Book of Judges, specifically Judges 6:25-32. In this detail, we witness Gideon and his men obeying Yahweh's commandment to destroy the altar dedicated to the false god Baal. The destruction is a powerful symbol of their fight against idol worship among the people of Israel. Designed by Heemskerck and manufactured by Frans Geubels in Brussels, these stunning cartoons showcase exceptional Flemish artistry. The vibrant colors bring life to each figure and event depicted within this biblical narrative. Gideon himself was not only a judge but also a warrior for the Hebrews. This second tapestry in the series "Story of Gideon" highlights his bravery and devotion to God's will. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to ancient times when religious rivalries were fierce and civilizations clashed. It serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos and opposition, faith can guide us towards our true purpose. With its rich symbolism and historical significance, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into biblical events while appreciating Flemish style at its finest.
