EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite tapestry titled "History of Saint Piat and Saint Eleuthere, Scene 6" by an unknown artist from the 14th-15th century. Housed in the Cathedral Notre-Dame in Tournai, Hainaut, Belgium, this piece is a true treasure of cultural heritage. The tapestry, also known as the "Tapisseries de saint Piat et de saint EleuthAre" or tapestry of Arras, was commissioned by canon Toussaint Prier, chaplain of the duke of Burgundy. Created around 1402 or at the end of the 14th century to early 15th century period, it spans an impressive length of 22 meters and stands at a height of 2 meters. In this particular scene captured by photographer A© Paul Maeyaert, we witness a significant moment in history. The detail depicted shows Hireneus receiving baptism at Nostre-Dame de Tournai church – he was one amongst many residents who were baptized during that time. The print not only highlights the artistic techniques employed in creating such magnificent tapestries but also offers us a glimpse into Europe's rich historical past. As we marvel at this masterpiece preserved within a museum or private collection setting, we are reminded once again that art has always been an integral part of our human story.
