A Great Sign Appeared In Heaven, Book Of Revelation 12 - Flanders Tapestry 17th - N 1525

The tapestry, woven in the Flanders Manufactures, dating from the 17th century, depicts the Blessed Virgin Mary, crowned with twelve stars, crushing the head of the serpent. Book of RevelationA great sign appeared in heaven: 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 rejected, the original serpent, the one called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was thrown to the earth, and his angels were thrown 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; it will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel." This verse is often interpreted as a prophecy of victory over evil, with the "woman" frequently seen as a figure of Mary, the mother of Jesus. It holds an important place in the Christian faith for its contribution to the defeat of sin and Satan. In keeping with tradition, this magnificent tapestry has undergone a thorough cleaning, the installation of a hand-sewn linen lining, and a careful inspection by our experts at the Galerie Lissier Artisan Workshop. It is now ready to adorn your home.
