EDITORS COMMENTS
The Haywain or Tribulations of Human Life," a magnificent tapestry created between 1550 and 1565 at the Brussels Manufactory around 1515-1525, is a stunning embodiment of the Early Netherlandish art tradition. This intricately woven masterpiece, now housed in the Patrimonio Nacional collection in Madrid, is a visual representation of the Seven Deadly Sins and the transient nature of human prosperity. The central scene portrays a haywain, a cart overflowing with abundant fruits, vegetables, and other signs of prosperity. Surrounding this scene are figures personifying the deadly sins: Acedia, or sloth, depicted as a monk dozing off; Avaritia, or avarice, represented by a man clutching gold coins; Gula, or gluttony, shown as a man feasting on a sumptuous banquet; and Ira, or anger, symbolized by a man losing his temper. The tapestry also includes allegorical figures such as Fortuna, the goddess of chance, and Cockaigne, the mythical land of abundance and luxury. The richness of the tapestry is evident in the use of gold and silver threads, silk, and wool, which add to its opulence and grandeur. The Haywain is a powerful reminder of the human condition and the dangers of succumbing to the deadly vices. The figures in the tapestry, once rich and prosperous, are now shown in various states of despair, sickness, and weakness, illustrating the consequences of sin. The tapestry's intricate design and masterful execution make it a testament to the skill and artistry of the Brussels Manufactory during the 16th century. The Haywain or Tribulations of Human Life is a visual feast for the eyes, inviting viewers to contemplate the fleeting nature of wealth and the importance of living a virtuous life. Its intricate details and allegorical symbolism continue to captivate and inspire art lovers and scholars alike, making it a must-see masterpiece in the world of Early Netherlandish art.
