EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable Flemish tapestry depicting the timeless theme of Original Sin. The artwork, which dates back to the 15th century, was once housed at the prestigious Gallery of Ancient and Modern Art in Florence. The tapestry showcases an intricate composition that seamlessly blends elements from both Renaissance and Baroque styles. It transports viewers to a mythical world where allegory takes center stage. A snake, symbolizing temptation and deceit, slithers amidst a vibrant array of animals including lions, parrots, birds, deer, and other terrestrial mammals. At the heart of this mesmerizing scene are Adam and Eve – two figures representing humanity's fall from grace in the earthly paradise. Clothed in intricately designed garments typical of their time period, they stand as stark contrasts: Adam embodies masculinity while Eve exudes femininity with her flowing hair cascading down her nude body. The landscape surrounding them is meticulously depicted with rolling hillsides adorned with lush vegetation – trees bearing fruits and flowers adding to its natural beauty. Every leaf seems carefully woven into place by skilled hands. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece captured through Brogi's lens around 100 years ago (circa 1915-1920), it serves as a reminder of Europe's rich artistic heritage during the first millennium AD. This tapestry not only reflects individual physiological aspects but also delves into psychological depths through its portrayal of biblical themes from the Old Testament. Although separated by centuries from its creation date, this Flemish tapestry continues to captivate audiences worldwide with its profound symbolism and masterful craftsmanship - an enduring testament to human creativity throughout history.
