EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable tapestry from the early 17th century, depicting the biblical story of Samson and the Lion. Suspended by two graceful angels in a roundel, this exquisite piece was crafted either in Amsterdam, Holland or Hamburg, Germany. The attention to detail is evident in every inch of this woolen masterpiece. The Dutch School of artistry shines through as intricate patterns and ornate decorations adorn the borders surrounding the central scene. Seraphs gracefully hover above, adding an ethereal touch to this already enchanting composition. The vibrant colors and delicate stitching bring life to each element within the tapestry. From the majestic lion to the blooming flowers that frame it, every thread tells a story of skillful craftsmanship and artistic expression. As we gaze upon this textile treasure, we are transported back in time to an era where such works were highly valued for their beauty and storytelling abilities. It serves as a testament to both religious narratives found within Hebrew Bible's Old Testament and also as a celebration of textiles as an art form. Now housed at Burrell Collection in Glasgow, Scotland, this stunning piece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm. Its presence reminds us of our rich cultural heritage and invites us into a world where art transcends time itself.
