EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable tapestry antependium from Strasbourg, dating back to the mid-15th century. The artwork, created by the French School, measures 91.4x147.3 cm and is currently housed in the Burrell Collection in Glasgow, Scotland. The tapestry depicts a poignant scene known as the Lamentation over the Dead Christ Pieta. It evokes strong emotions of sadness, melancholy, and grief through its intricate weaving of wool, silk, and possibly linen threads. The central figure of Jesus Christ lies lifeless on a bier while surrounded by mournful figures including Saint Mary and other saints. The Virgin Mary's sorrow is palpable as she cradles her deceased son with utmost tenderness and devotion. This portrayal captures both her deep maternal love for Jesus and her profound grief at his untimely death. The tapestry not only serves as a religious artifact but also reflects the artistic mastery of female weavers during that era. Their skillful craftsmanship brings to life every detail of this somber moment in biblical history. Through this powerful image captured by Bridgeman Images, viewers are transported back in time to witness this moving depiction firsthand. It serves as a reminder of our shared mortality and invites contemplation on themes such as faith, loss, and human suffering.
