Tapestries have been an enigmatic form of artwork for hundreds of
years, with the intricate symbolism of their woven narratives still
fascinating viewers today. Unicorns and fantastic beasts rub
shoulders with well-heeled aristocrats; famous biblical and saintly
stories are played out; allegorical figures, gods and goddesses
recline in classical landscapes; and the arms and military
achievements of wealthy patrons are depicted in sparkling glory.
However, far from being an outdated craft, tapestries continue to
be woven to this day, both by talented amateurs in their homes and
by highly skilled artisans in studios and workshops around the
world. In this beautiful illustrated introduction to the history of
tapestries, Rosita Sheen reveals the fascinating story of these
masterpieces, exploring their conception, manufacture, and
symbolism right up to the present day.
