About the Item

Artist: Manufacture Des Flandres Era: 17th century Style: Biblical scene Condition: Perfect Material: Wool & Silk Width: 180 cm Height: 265 cm Depth: 1 cm Here's the American English translation: "The tapestry woven in the Manufactories of Flanders, dating from the 17th century, depicts the Holy Virgin Mary, crowned with twelve stars, crushing the serpent's head. Book of Revelation A great sign appeared in the sky: a Woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. Yes, the great Dragon was thrown down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him. This iconography is traditionally associated with the biblical verse from Genesis 3:15: 'I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will strike your head, and you will strike his heel.' This verse is often interpreted as a prophecy of the victory over evil, with the 'woman' frequently seen as a figure of Mary, the mother of Jesus. She holds an important place in the Christian faith for her contribution to the defeat of sin and Satan In keeping with tradition, this magnificent tapestry has undergone a thorough cleaning, a hand-sewn linen lining, and a meticulous inspection by our experts in our artisan workshop. It is now ready to adorn your home.
