EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The parable of the laborers in the vineyard" a remarkable tapestry created around 1500 by Coecke van Aelst, or possibly his studio. The tapestry measures an impressive 410x620 cm and is currently housed in the Catedral de Zamora, Castilla y Leon, Spain. In this particular scene from the series, titled "The call to laborers" we witness God extending an invitation to Noah and his sons to work in the vineyard. It is the first panel of this thought-provoking series that was manufactured in Brussels, potentially under Pieter van Aelst's supervision. Crafted with silk and wool using six threads per cm, this Flemish artwork beautifully captures various elements such as agriculture, religion, society, and economy prevalent during the early modern era. The vibrant colors bring life to multiple people engaged in their labor amidst lush grapevines and various plants. "The parable of the laborers" serves as a powerful allegory highlighting themes of hard work, divine guidance, and societal roles. This masterpiece not only exemplifies Western art but also reflects Belgium's artistic prowess while finding its home within Spain's rich cultural heritage. As you gaze upon this awe-inspiring tapestry through Maeyaert/AIC's lens capturing every intricate detail with finesse; take a moment to appreciate how it seamlessly combines decorative arts with religious symbolism—a testament to human creativity throughout history.
