EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable tapestry fragment from the 15th century, depicting a scene of mille fleurs. The intricate design features various animals and plants woven in wool, creating a mesmerizing display of wildlife and flora. In this particular section of the tapestry, we are drawn to three prominent figures: a doe, lion, and pheasant. Each animal is meticulously crafted with fine details that bring them to life within the textile landscape. The graceful doe stands elegantly amidst an array of vibrant flowers, while the majestic lion exudes power and strength as it gazes into the distance. Perched on a branch nearby is a colorful pheasant, its feathers beautifully depicted in shades of blue and green. The craftsmanship displayed in this tapestry fragment suggests it may have originated from either France or Flanders (Flemish). Its precise execution reflects the skillful artistry prevalent during this period. Preserved within the Burrell Collection in Glasgow, Scotland, this piece serves as a testament to Europe's rich artistic heritage. It not only celebrates nature's beauty but also highlights the significance of textiles as an art form. Through this print by Bridgeman Images, we can appreciate both the historical value and aesthetic appeal of this exceptional tapestry fragment—a true masterpiece that continues to captivate viewers centuries later.
