EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Flemish tapestry, created around 1525, depicts the biblical story of David before Saul. The scene is taken from the Series of History of David, designed by the renowned Flemish artist, Bernard van Orley. The tapestry was manufactured in Brussels, Belgium, using silk and wool, and measures an impressive 560 x 410 cm. The tapestry illustrates an episode from the Old Testament of the Bible, where David, a young shepherd boy, is brought before King Saul to play the harp and soothe his troubled spirit. Dressed in elegant attire, David is shown standing before Saul, who sits on his throne, deep in thought. The intricate details of their sacred clothing are beautifully rendered, with rich fabrics and textures that bring the scene to life. The tapestry is a testament to the artistic achievements of the Western Early Modern Era and the Flemish art tradition. It is a prime example of the decorative arts and textiles that flourished during the Renaissance period. The tapestry was once part of the vast collection of the Cathedral of St. Mary in Burgos, Spain, in the region of Castile and Leon. The tapestry's intricate design and masterful execution make it a treasured work of art and an important historical artifact.
