EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a beautiful moment from the Altarpiece of the Virgin and St. George, created by Lluis Borrassa in the late 14th century. The scene showcases The Virgin Mary with her classmates, eagerly displaying their needlework samplers to their teacher. The detail of this painting reveals intricate embroidery on the Veil of the Temple, symbolizing purity and allegorical significance. The Virgin Mary's sampler depicts a fountain surrounded by five flying angels, representing the Immaculate Conception. Her companions' work showcases delicate flowers and plants. This image provides a glimpse into medieval education and social history, highlighting female students engaged in textile stitching under the guidance of their instructor. It is a testament to both their youthful enthusiasm for learning and their skillful craftsmanship.
