EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from Scene 6 of the "History of Saint Piat and Saint Eleuthere" tapestry. The scene depicts a significant moment - the mid-baptism ceremony. Created by an unknown artist in the 14th-15th century, this masterpiece is part of the Cathedral treasure at Cathedrale Notre-Dame in Tournai, Hainaut, Belgium. The tapestry, also known as the "Tapestry of Arras" was commissioned by Canon Toussaint Prier, chaplain to the Duke of Burgundy. Its creation dates back to 1402 or possibly even earlier in the late 14th century. This particular scene portrays Hireneus as he becomes the first baptized citizen of Tournai at Nostre-Dame de Tournai church. Preserved with utmost care and attention to detail, this cultural heritage piece is now housed within a private collection but remains accessible for public admiration. The intricate techniques employed in its creation are evident through every stitch and thread. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph captured by A© Paul Maeyaert, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in religious history. It serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and historical significance that continues to captivate audiences today.
