Brussels (Netherlands), c. 355 x 387 cm, second half of the 16th century, workshop of Jakob Geubels. The present monumental wall hanging from the manufactory of Jakob Geubels, who ran a flourishing workshop between 1585 and 1605, is, on grounds of its design and execution, one of the masterpieces of the weaving industry in Brussels. In excellent colour condition, fully preserved with original galloon, with the Brussels city mark "B + B" and the weaver's mark of Jakob Geubels. Several age-related repairs and damaged areas, such as open warp slits and brown corrosion. Entirely secured with linen and burlap fabrics on the back.
Description of the image:
The Nine Worthies. Alexander the Great. In the late Middle Ages, Alexander – King of Macedon and Hegemon of the Corinthian League, Conqueror and General – was regarded as one of the "Nine Worthies", a literary catalogue of popular heroes. This subject found resonance in the fine arts, sculpture, painting as much as in textile art. The Nine Worthies are divided into three groups; Joshua, David, and Judas Maccabeus from the Old Testament; the pagan heroes: Hector, Alexander the Great, and Julius Caesar, as well as those belonging to the Christian faith: Charlemagne, King Arthur, and Godfrey of Bouillon. Provenance:
Further reading:
Heinrich Göbel, Wandteppiche, Die Niederlande, volume 1 and 2, ill. 82, 84 and 85.
