EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable tapestry cushion cover depicting the tragic love story of Pyramus and Thisbe. Created in Hamburg, Germany around 1615, this exquisite piece of textile art measures 48.3x48.3 cm and is currently housed in the Burrell Collection in Glasgow, Scotland. The scene depicted on the cushion cover portrays the ill-fated lovers Pyramus and Thisbe, who were forbidden to be together by their feuding families. In a heart-wrenching twist of fate, they decide to meet secretly under a mulberry tree but tragically die believing each other to be dead. The attention to detail in this tapestry is truly remarkable; every stitch brings life to the intricate patterns and textures. The vibrant colors used add depth and emotion to the narrative unfolding before our eyes.
