EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard" a tapestry created around 1500 by Coecke van Aelst and his studio. Measuring an impressive 410x620 cm, this masterpiece is housed in the Catedral de Zamora in Castilla y Leon, Spain. The tapestry depicts a scene from the biblical parable where God, represented as a "pater familias" selects workers before the arrival of the Messiah. It is believed to be part of a larger series, with this being the first panel. The manufacturing process took place in Brussels, possibly under Pieter van Aelst's workshops. The artwork beautifully combines silk and wool threads at six stitches per centimeter, showcasing intricate details and vibrant colors. It portrays multiple people engaged in labor within a vineyard setting, surrounded by various plants and grapevines. With its Flemish style and allegorical narrative, this piece reflects both religious themes and societal dynamics during the Renaissance period. It offers insights into early modern-era economy, clothing styles, agricultural tools used for tillage purposes, and overall daily life. Through its rich symbolism and moral teachings embedded within Christianity, "The Parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard" continues to captivate viewers with its timeless message about fairness and divine justice. This print allows art enthusiasts to appreciate every detail of this remarkable work from Belgium's artistic heritage while also providing historical context from 15th-century Europe.
