Περιγραφή για English Medieval Embroidery: Opus Anglicanum Yale University Press 0824

An introduction to the design, production and use of luxury embroideries in medieval England (c. 1200–1530) In medieval Europe, embroidered textiles were indispensable symbols of wealth and power. Owing to their quality, complexity and magnificence, English embroideries enjoyed international demand and can be traced in Continental sources as opus anglicanum (English work). Essays by leading experts explore the embroideries’ artistic and social context, while catalogue entries examine individual masterpieces. Medieval embroiderers lived in a tightly knit community in London, and many were women who can be identified by name. Comparisons between their work and contemporary painting challenge modern assumptions about the hierarchy of artistic media. Contributors consider an outstanding range of examples, highlighting their craftsmanship and exploring the world in which they were created.Published in association with the Victoria and Albert Museum Σελίδες: 324, Έτος Έκδοσης: 0824, Διαστάσεις: 22.9x22.9cm
