EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent Flemish tapestry from the Diocesan Museum in Brussels. Created by the renowned Atelier Francois Geubels, this particular piece belongs to the series "Story of Gideon" and depicts a scene titled "The Warriors are Chosen (La eleccion de los guerreros)". Crafted with meticulous detail using silk and wool, this baroque masterpiece was generously bequeathed to the museum by Bishop Vicente Roca de la Serna. Its historical significance is further highlighted by its presence in the cathedral since 1608. The tapestry, created between 1534-1571, is attributed to Maerten van Heemskerck, an esteemed Flemish artist of the sixteenth century. The artwork beautifully captures a biblical event with warriors being selected for battle. The composition features soldiers clad in white wool uniforms alongside female soldiers and navy troops. The attention to detail is remarkable as every thread of silk velvet adds depth and texture to this stunning textile. As you admire this extraordinary piece, it transports you back in time to an era when art served as both decoration and storytelling. This tapestry exemplifies not only the mastery of Flemish art but also reflects the rich history and culture of Spain during that period. With its intricate design and vibrant colors, this tapestry truly embodies the essence of baroque style while preserving biblical events for generations to come.
