EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Birth of the Virgin" a remarkable tapestry created by the Brussels Workshop around 1510. The Flemish School's exquisite craftsmanship is evident in this masterpiece, which now resides in St. Sauveur Cathedral, Aix-en-Provence, France. The scene depicted transports us to a medieval bedchamber where the miraculous birth of the Virgin Mary takes place. Midwives and maids surround the mother with utmost care and devotion as she lies on an ornate bed adorned with luxurious textiles and furnishings. One midwife gently pours water from a basin while another attends to the newborn baby, cradling her tenderly. Every detail in this tapestry speaks volumes about the Renaissance era's artistic prowess. The intricate design captures not only religious significance but also societal customs of that time period. It is believed that this particular piece was originally made for Canterbury Cathedral, further adding to its historical value. "The Birth of the Virgin" serves as a testament to both faith and artistry, showcasing how these two elements intertwine seamlessly throughout history. This print allows us to appreciate Flemish art at its finest, offering viewers an opportunity to delve into centuries-old narratives through visual storytelling.
