Tapestry Products:

 

Made in Northern Europe on the basis of Italian designs, Renaissance tapestries have been called ''portable frescoes,'' because they offer the same visually dense illustrations of biblical or mythical scenes as frescoes. Unlike medieval tapestries, which were mostly made of wool, the original tapestries made during the Renaissance were laced with gold and silver, which in some cases had been brought to Europe from the New World.  When they were made, these hangings were considered among the most treasured pieces in some of the best collections of the Renaissance.

Sacred art was common in the European Middle Ages, but many of the greatest masters commissioned by the Roman Catholic Church lived during the Renaissance. It was during this time that Michelangelo Buonarotti painted the Sistine Chapel and carved the Pietà, Gianlorenzo Bernini created the massive columns in St. Peter's Basilica, and Leonardo da Vinci painted the Last Supper.

Out of stock tapestries can take up to 28 days to be woven. Feel free to email for stock availability.
