EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning tapestry, titled "Virtues Win to Vices: Prophet Isaiah (Crucifixion and Virtues Win the Battle to Vices)" is a masterpiece from the Redemption of Man or Vices and Virtues series, created around 1510. Measuring 420 x 798 cm, it was manufactured in Brussels using silk and wool with an impressive 7 threads per cm. The intricate design showcases the triumph of virtues over vices, with Prophet Isaiah depicted in the center, crucifixion scene unfolding behind him. The detail of Isaiah is particularly noteworthy, featuring the inscription "Ipse venit et saluabit vos Isais" (He comes to save you). This poignant reminder of salvation adds depth to the overall narrative. Originating from the Western European history during the early modern era, this Flemish artpiece was produced in the region of Castile and Leon, specifically in Burgos, at the Cathedral of St. Mary. The tapestry is a testament to the artistic and cultural richness of the time, reflecting the deep religious beliefs and values of the period. The Redemption of Man or Vices and Virtues series is a collection of tapestries that illustrate the eternal struggle between good and evil, ultimately emphasizing the importance of living virtuously. This particular piece, with its powerful depiction of Prophet Isaiah and the triumph of virtues, serves as a visual reminder of the transformative power of faith and the enduring nature of hope.
