EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Norwegian Tapestry from Gudbrandsdal, dating back to the 1620s. The intricate design depicts the timeless tale of Solomon and Sheba, two legendary figures renowned for their wisdom and romance. However, it is worth noting that the lettering at the top of the tapestry appears reversed. Displayed proudly at the Museum of Applied Arts in Oslo, this artifact transports us back to a bygone era when monarchies ruled with grace and authority. The tapestry's rich colors and meticulous craftsmanship serve as a testament to Norway's artistic heritage. In this image, we witness courtly scenes unfolding before our eyes. Men and women dressed in regal attire engage in conversations while surrounded by an opulent setting fit for royalty. The attention to detail allows us to immerse ourselves in this romanticized world where love stories intertwine with matters of state. The Norwegian Tapestry not only serves as a visual delight but also offers valuable insights into 17th-century culture and society. It stands as an enduring symbol of historical significance, reminding us of Norway's royal lineage and its contributions to artistry throughout centuries. Thanks to photographers CM Dixon and Mike Dixon from Heritage Images, we can now appreciate this exquisite piece up close without leaving our homes or offices. Their dedication has preserved this treasure for future generations to admire and learn from.
