EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The parable of the laborers in the vineyard" a tapestry created around 1500 by Coecke van Aelst, Pieter (1502-50) or his studio. The tapestry measures an impressive 410x620 cm and is currently housed in the Catedral de Zamora, Castilla y Leon, Spain. The central scene depicted in this artwork portrays the moment when workers receive their wages from the steward in the house of the "Pater familias". This biblical parable teaches a moral lesson about fairness and generosity. The exquisite detail captured in this second series cloth suggests that it was manufactured in Brussels, possibly within Pieter van Aelst's workshops. Made with silk and wool, using six threads per cm, this Flemish-style tapestry exemplifies both artistic mastery and religious symbolism. It represents a significant piece of Western art from the Renaissance era. The print beautifully captures multiple people dressed in togas amidst lush vineyards as they engage in agricultural labor. Their expressions reveal various emotions associated with receiving their salaries for their hard work. Overall, this image provides a glimpse into society during the late 15th century to early 16th century. It highlights not only economic aspects but also cultural and religious influences prevalent during that time period.
