Renaissance Splendor - Catherine de' Medici's Valois Tapestries (Hardcover)

Featuring detailed scenes of court pageantry and life-size
portraits of members of the French Valois dynasty woven in wool,
silk, and precious metal-wrapped threads, the Valois Tapestries are
one of the most extravagant sets of hangings produced in the 16th
century. The precise circumstances surrounding the tapestries'
commission and their arrival at the Medici court in Florence, as
well as the significance of the specific scenes depicted, however,
have eluded scholars for years. Presenting new research into the
political maneuvering of the Valois and Medici courts and providing
extensive physical analysis gathered during a recent cleaning of
the tapestries, this volume offers brand new insight into why these
magnificent works were made and what they represent. Distributed
for the Cleveland Museum of Art Exhibition Schedule: Cleveland
Museum of Art (11/18/18-01/21/19)
