This is the first attempt to paint the same scene that I posted around 2 weeks ago. I sold that one and am left with this one, smaller, a little more cramped, but framed nicely in dark Mahogany and hanging in our upstairs bathroom where we have dark wood trim.

It was interesting and a surprise to see these tapestries hanging randomly in a exhibit of Florida crafts. I had never seen them unwrapped, they spent their time rolled and wrapped in brown paper on a upper shelf with tapestries by Shahn and Hirsch. I thought that like the other artists tapestries we carried they were woven in France but the reference I found on line said they were Israeli but I am not sure if that is a manufacturer or a geographic designation.
Wall tapestries are woven wall hangings that depict a scene or famous painting. Medieval and renaissance tapestries were first developed in Europe to decorate castles and large churches. At first they were primarily of religious scenes and later to depict historical events.

The Maximilian Room next to the States Room is named after a 19th-century double portrait of Emperor Maximilian I and Mary of Burgundy. The space was intended for the administrators of the States of Brabant and was taken over by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. The walls are covered with four tapestries from the eight-part Life of Clovis series, based on cartoons by Charles Poerson. The other four tapestries decorate the next room. The Grangé gallery on the side of the courtyard connects all these rooms. It contains 18th-century royal portraits painted around 1718 by Louis Grangé.
Due to overnight frost, the fall of Magnolia leafs resulted in a sunlit tapestry under the tree; sad beauty.
Seven world-famous tapestries depicting “The Hunt of the Unicorn” adorn this most famous gallery of the Cloisters in New York City. The artwork of these tapestries are dated somewhere between 1495 and 1505.
Filled with both pagan and Christian symbolism, against landscapes richly woven with lush flora and fauna, a story of a mythical beast trying in vain to escape the men and dogs that pursue him is told. The pagan themes emphasize the medieval lore of beguiled lovers, whereas Christian writings interpret the unicorn and its death as the Passion of Christ.
Why kill beauty? Perhaps (outside of the pagan and Christian explanations) the motive was a means of taking possession of the unicorn’s magic powers, or it could be a symbol of man’s power over nature. It still seems an odd theme in this day and age, or perhaps hunting down and killing something beautiful is human nature.
Or, since this was likely a wedding commission, it could have more simply been about sex. The early provenance of these tapestries are a bit sketchy but it seems likely that they were commissioned by Anne of Brittany, to celebrate her marriage to Louis XII, King of France. The conquest of a horse with a phallic symbol on its head as a wedding gift fits in much better with the pagan than the Christian explanation.

Hardwick Hall is famed for its fabulous collection of tapestries. Most are over 400 years old and reflect the wealth of Bess of Hardwick who lived in the house.
These C16th textiles need to be kept safe from light and heat and require expert conservation.
Carrots are such a sweet veggie. Look what they made me for Christmas. It's supposed to be a blanket, but to tell you the truth, carrot peelings ain't all that warm. So I put a frame around it and hung it on the wall instead. They're very pleased. I am too.

Julius Drewe was an ambitious man, he wanted to create an imposing ancestral home situated on a granite outcrop overlooking Dartmoor. Castle Drogo certainly achieved this, and is a striking building, made entirely of granite complete with portcullis and arrow slits. It overlooks the deep Teign Gorge and the view stretches to Haytor.
While the changes to the exterior of the castle are hard to miss, the inside has also had a makeover. Some rooms are back to 'normal' with tapestries and collection items displayed, whilst others have become storage areas.

My stitches are a bit uneven at times, but I love how this turned out. I think the yellow side is my favourite!

This was taken on the shore of the Athabasca River near Jasper. I spotted this tapestry of decaying wood full of natural textures. It reminded me of pen and ink drawings.

This began as a photograph I took of the bougainvillea in front of my house. It obviously went through a myriad of mutations but everything you see -- including the texture -- was derived from the original photo.

The Bayeux Tapestry is currently housed in a special museum in Bayeux, Normandy in France. It is not actually a tapestry, but is an embroidery in wool yarn on linen (but who's complaining). It shows the events of 1064 to 1066, Beginning with King Edward the Confessor sending Harold to Normandy and culminating in Duke William’s invasion of England and the Battle of Hastings. The tapestry is 1.6 feet high and a whopping 224.3 feet long and reads like panels from a graphic novel complete with Latin descriptions of the events. The tapestry is encased in a long glass case in the museum and you can walk the length of it.
This section of the tapestry shows the events leading up to the Battle of Hastings.
The Bayeux tapestry is one of the supreme achievements of the Norman Romanesque. Its survival almost intact over nine centuries is little short of miraculous. Its exceptional length, the harmony and freshness of its colours, its exquisite workmanship, and the genius of its guiding spirit combine to make it endlessly fascinating.
The cloth consists of 58 scenes, many with Latin tituli, embroidered on linen with coloured woollen yarns. It is likely that it was commissioned by Bishop Odo, William's maternal half-brother, and made in England – not Bayeux – in the 1070s.
