EDITORS COMMENTS
This intricately woven tapestry, known as the "Witches Tapestry," is a stunning example of Hispano-Moresque art from the 12th century. The Altar Frontal, as it is also referred to, is made of worked silk and originates from the Taifas Kingdoms period in Spain, specifically the Almoravid dynasty. The tapestry is currently housed in the Vic Episcopal Museum in Spain. The lower detail of the tapestry showcases a captivating scene of witches, an element that adds to the mystique and allure of this piece. The witches are depicted in various stages of their ritual, with some riding on broomsticks, others holding cauldrons, and some engaging in what appears to be a sacred dance. The intricate details of their clothing and accessories are beautifully rendered in silk, adding to the richness and complexity of the tapestry. The horizontal design of the tapestry is typical of Hispano-Moresque art, which was heavily influenced by Islamic art and culture. The use of geometric patterns, intricate floral motifs, and calligraphy are all hallmarks of this artistic style. The Altar Frontal is a testament to the artistic achievements of the Almoravid and Taifas Kingdoms periods in Spain, a time when diverse cultures came together to create a unique and vibrant artistic tradition. The Vic Episcopal Museum in Vic, Spain, is home to many such treasures from the Hispano-Moresque period, providing a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of this fascinating time in history.
