The potential for large sizes, portability and versatility for
religious objects including banners, hangings, altarpieces and
palls was the impetus for the emergence of fabrics as a painting
support in Western art in the Middle Ages. The functionality of the
works explains the survival of relatively few examples and although
painted cloths were the most common form of interior decoration for
centuries, they have received less attention from art historians
and historians in part due to this poor survival rate. The papers
in this volume explore the use of painted cloths in religious
ceremony, pageantry, domestic interiors and scenic art, focusing on
their change of context and significance from the 14th to the 21st
century and examining their different function, materials and
method of creation.
