EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, Rogier Van der Weyden transports us back to the medieval era, capturing the essence of an elderly woman from the 15th century. The print showcases a remarkable attention to detail, allowing us to appreciate the intricate patterns adorning her dress and headdress. The artist's skillful use of color brings vibrancy to the image, emphasizing the woman's gentle smile and serene expression. As we gaze upon this timeless artwork, we are drawn into a world where age is celebrated and wisdom revered. The clasped hands suggest a lifetime of experiences and lessons learned, while the veil adds an air of mystery and intrigue. This portrait not only captures one person but also encapsulates an entire era – Flanders in its medieval glory. The exhibition at Burlington House organized by the Anglo-Belgian Union provides a unique opportunity for art enthusiasts to delve into Flemish and Belgian art spanning over five centuries. Essays by Paul Lambotte, Dr Max Friedlander, and W G Thomsom further enrich our understanding of these masterpieces. This particular print from "Portrait of an Elderly Woman" serves as a poignant reminder that beauty transcends time. It reminds us that behind every face lies a story waiting to be discovered; it urges us to embrace our own journey with grace and dignity just like this nameless lady from centuries ago.
