EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable fragment from an Orphrey Band, dating back to 15th century Florence. Created by an unknown artist, this antique piece of art is a testament to the rich history and craftsmanship of that era. The image provides a close-up view of the intricate details and vibrant colors found in this decorative textile. The fabric, made from silk and gold gilt strip wound around linen fiber core, features a stunning combination of warp float faced satin weave and twill weave with supplementary patterning wefts. In the center of the fragment stands Madonna, the mother of God, depicted in all her glory. Surrounding her are various religious figures and symbols that represent Christianity's deep-rooted heritage. The gilded accents add a touch of opulence to this heavenly scene. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only the artistic beauty but also the historical significance behind this ancient artifact. It serves as a reminder of Florence's prominent role as an epicenter for art during the 15th century. Displayed at an esteemed institution like The Art Institute Chicago, it continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm. This print offers us a glimpse into Italy's cultural past while reminding us how art has always been intertwined with religion and spirituality throughout history.
