EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent tapestry known as "The Tournament" from the Brussels workshop. Created by the Flemish School in the 15th century, this vertical loom tapestry is an exquisite example of Renaissance artistry. The detailed grandstand depicted in this particular section features Charles VII, the French King from 1470 to 1498, and his wife Anne of Brittany, who reigned from 1477 to 1514. Measuring an impressive 470x560 cm, this tapestry can be found at the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Valenciennes, France. It offers a glimpse into history with its portrayal of a medieval tournament, capturing both the excitement and elegance of such events. The attention to detail is astounding; every thread seems to come alive under close examination. From spectators eagerly watching on to portraits of important figures like Charles VII and Anne of Brittany adorning the grandstand walls – each element tells its own story within this larger narrative. "The Tournament" not only represents a significant historical moment but also serves as a testament to Flemish craftsmanship during that era. Its preservation allows us to appreciate and admire the skillful artistry that went into creating such intricate textile masterpieces. As we gaze upon this remarkable print captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time – immersed in an enchanting world where kings and queens ruled and tournaments were celebrated with fervor.
