An introduction to the design, production and use of luxury
embroideries in medieval England (c. 1200-1530) In medieval Europe,
embroidered textiles were indispensable symbols of wealth and
power. Owing to their quality, complexity and magnificence, English
embroideries enjoyed international demand and can be traced in
Continental sources as opus anglicanum (English work). Essays by
leading experts explore the embroideries' artistic and social
context, while catalogue entries examine individual masterpieces.
Medieval embroiderers lived in a tightly knit community in London,
and many were women who can be identified by name. Comparisons
between their work and contemporary painting challenge modern
assumptions about the hierarchy of artistic media. Contributors
consider an outstanding range of examples, highlighting their
craftsmanship and exploring the world in which they were created.
