"Bruxelles Medieval" by Pieter Coecke and Frans Borremans unfolds a spectacular panoramic narrative of medieval life and landscape through meticulously woven imagery. This magnificent tapestry presents a sweeping countryside vista populated with nobles on horseback, hunting parties with dogs, and everyday citizens against a backdrop of a medieval city with soaring church spires and fortified walls. The predominantly golden-hued composition, accented with rich crimson and subtle blues, creates a warm, antiqued palette that enhances the historical ambiance, while the intricate border of botanical motifs frames the central scene with decorative flourish.

 

About Bruxelles Medieval by Pieter Coecke and Frans Borremans

Created in 2005, this monumental tapestry measuring 102 inches wide by 53.5 inches high pays homage to the distinguished tradition of Flemish textile artistry. Based on the historical designs of Renaissance masters Coecke and Borremans, the piece exemplifies the renowned Brussels weaving techniques that once adorned Europe's most prestigious palaces and noble residences. The remarkable scale of the work allows for extraordinary narrative detail-from architectural elements of the distant city to the expressive faces of riders and subtle rendering of foliage. The weaving captures the essence of "millefleurs" backgrounds and perspectival landscapes characteristic of Flemish tapestry's golden age. When displayed, this impressive textile artwork transforms a space with its grand presence and historical resonance, creating an immediate connection to the artistic heritage of Brussels and the aristocratic European tradition of narrative tapestries.
