EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - "The Abdication of Charles V". The tapestry, created by the Flemish School in the 17th century, measures an impressive 415x385 cm and is housed at the Musee du Temps in Besancon, France. In this scene, we witness a solemn ceremony as Charles V (1500-58), the Holy Roman Emperor, relinquishes his power. On the left side of the tapestry stands Mary of Hungary (1505-58), while Philip II (1527-98) respectfully kisses his father's hand. Antoine Perrenot de Granvelle (1517-86), Bishop of Arras, and Ferdinand Alvarez de Tolede (1507-82), Duke of Alba, lean on their canes nearby. The attention to detail and vibrant colors bring this historical event to life. The tapestry was made in Bruges and showcases elements such as thrones and symbols associated with royalty. It also highlights Germany's influence during that era. Charles V was not only a powerful ruler but also part of the Habsburg dynasty. His reign marked an important period for Europe and its political landscape. This image serves as a reminder of his legacy as one of Europe's most influential figures during the 16th century. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, this remarkable piece has been immortalized through photography for all art enthusiasts to appreciate worldwide.
