EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Brussels allegorical tapestry depicting the month of December. Created around 1525 by Bernaert van Orley, or an artist from his circle, this exquisite piece measures an impressive 366x422 cm and is currently held in a private collection. Woven with meticulous detail using wool and silk, the tapestry portrays various scenes symbolizing the winter month of December. In the center, we witness a butcher and his helper blood-letting a boar while assisted by a woman. To the left, two boys hold torches as they converse with their maid and her master and mistress. On the right side, a group gathers around a fire to keep warm amidst snow-covered buildings. Above these scenes stands the personification of December inscribed as FOLUS, accompanied by playful putti blowing gusts of wind across the sky filled with clouds and snowflakes. The circular frame surrounding them features winged putti-faces along with a medallion showcasing a ram below it labeled DECEMBRE. The corners are adorned with intricate details such as foliated masks embellished with ram-horns, lions, snails, and ribbon-tied garlands of flowers and fruits that add further charm to this masterpiece. Although there have been some restorations done on light silks and brown wools over time due to its agelessness since creation; this photograph perfectly captures every nuance of color and texture present in this historical artwork.
