EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning piece of artistry from Valance, England in the 17th century. Created by an unknown artist during the years 1620 to 1660, this embroidered masterpiece is a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of its creator. The intricate design features silk and feathers meticulously stitched using running satin single satin and stem stitches. The applique technique adds depth and texture to the artwork, with hemp and linen plain weaves expertly incorporated into the composition. The vibrant colors bring life to this historic textile, showcasing Britain's rich artistic heritage. Cotton threads are skillfully couched onto the fabric, while silk chenille enhances certain areas through satin and tent stitches. Every detail has been carefully considered - from fringed drapery edges lined with silk plied cords to cotton padding beneath laid work and couching raised elements. The entire piece is lined with fine linen plain weave for added durability. Displayed at an esteemed art institute in Chicago, this photograph captures not only the beauty of this embroidery but also its historical significance. It serves as a reminder of Europe's artistic prowess during that era. This remarkable needlework exemplifies both English craftsmanship and European creativity. Its presence evokes admiration for centuries-old techniques that continue to inspire contemporary artists today.
