EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent Brussels allegorical tapestry depicting the month of December. Created around 1525 by Bernaert van Orley and 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 final month of the year. In the center, we witness a butcher and his assistant engaged in blood-letting a boar, accompanied by a woman. To their left, two boys hold torches while conversing with their maid and her master and mistress. On the right side, a group gathers around a warm fire. Above these intricate depictions stands December personified as FOLUS, surrounded by playful putti blowing winds across the sky adorned with clouds and snowflakes. The background features diverse buildings that add depth to this enchanting composition. The tapestry's circular frame is embellished with winged putti-faces while being centered by a medallion showcasing an inscribed ram representing December below it. Notably, additional elements include Aquilon (the North Wind) holding bellows at the top left corner and other figures scattered throughout. Delicate restorations have been made to preserve this masterpiece's light silks and brown wools over time. The border is beautifully adorned with ribbon-tied garlands of flowers and fruits while each corner exhibits distinctive foliated masks featuring ram-horns, lions, snails - all contributing to its overall grandeur. Captured flawlessly in this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection through eChristies Images; it allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of this remarkable artwork from Flemish history without any commercial use implications or copyright restrictions.
