EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable tapestry titled "Cycle of Oedipus: Oedipus and Jocaste". The artwork, attributed to Bernard van Orley and the workshop of Pieter Coecke van Aelst the Elder, dates back to the 16th century Belgian art. The tapestry measures an impressive 415 x 417 cm and is currently housed in Museu de Lamego in Portugal. The image captures a pivotal moment in the tragic story of Oedipus. On the left side, we see Oedipus intently contemplating the enigma of the Sphinx, symbolizing his struggle with fate and destiny. In the center, he sits on a throne next to Queen Jocaste, who also happens to be his mother - a shocking revelation that adds another layer of complexity to their relationship. The craftsmanship displayed in this piece is truly awe-inspiring. Every intricate detail on this cardboard-based tapestry speaks volumes about the skill and talent possessed by Van Orley and Van Aelst's workshop. From delicate patterns woven into fabric to lifelike expressions on each character's face, every element comes together harmoniously. Leonard de Selva has beautifully captured this masterpiece through his lens. His photograph allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance as it represents an important chapter in Netherlandish art history. Overall, this print serves as a testament to both human creativity and storytelling prowess throughout centuries past. It invites viewers into a world where myth intertwines with reality while leaving them captivated by its beauty and narrative depth.
