From whom acquired.
图录说明
Courtly figures and soldiers are shown in the midst of a procession - a well-dressed woman is being escorted by two soldiers bearing polearms, while a group of men on horseback follows. Above the scene is a banner that appears to read:Non obstant [sic] la bonne prière · Elle fut ruddement [sic] · Chacun disoit que la loudière · Estoit [sic] à [sic] bon droict condempnée [sic](Notwithstanding the good prayer, she was harshly taken away.
Everyone said that the whore was rightly condemned.)
Panels such as the present work were often part of a larger, complex narrative series that depicted historical, mythological or religious tales. the meaning of many such tableaus has now been lost,1this tapestry belongs to a series of six panels illustrating the biblical story of Susanna, a noblewoman falsely accused of adultery by a group of lascivious men. The present weaving depicts the moment in which Susanna is unjustly condemned of this crime. Together, the series was displayed in the parish church of Saint-Alpin at Châlons-en-Champagne in northern France.2
Tournai, located in modern-day Belgium, was a well-known weaving center and is known to have produced several major narrative sets, including theHistory of Judith, theHistory of the Prophet Daniel, and theHistory of Hercules.3
