EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Triumphs of the Mother of God or Panos de Oro" a stunning tapestry created by Pieter van Aelst in 1500-02. Measuring an impressive 320 x 372 cm, this first tapestry in the series was acquired by Queen Joanna of Castile and manufactured in Brussels using gold, silver, silk, and wool. The focal point of this masterpiece is the Archangel Gabriel delivering God's message to the Virgin Mary. Above them, seated in glory, are representations of the Trinity as crowned kings. In a powerful visual representation, God the Father can be seen passing his written message to Gabriel. As we gaze at this image, we witness the Virgin Mary reading and praying with reserve and contemplation upon receiving this life-altering news. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring these sacred figures to life before our eyes. Beyond its religious significance, these tapestries also symbolize important events from Juana and Philip the Fair's lives: their betrothal, marriage ceremony, and opulent court in the Netherlands. This fusion of Flemish artistry with Spanish history creates a truly unique piece that resonates with both spiritual devotion and regal grandeur. Displayed within Spain's Royal Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial near Madrid, this photograph allows us to appreciate every delicate stitch and shimmering thread that make up Coecke van Aelst's remarkable creation.
