EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "The meeting of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba" embroidery, created around 1650 by an unknown English artist. The piece is currently housed in The Holburne Museum in Bath, UK. In this stunning panel, we witness a momentous encounter between two legendary figures from biblical times. King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba are depicted with meticulous detail, their regal presence emanating from every stitch. The use of flat silk embroidery brings vibrancy to their attire, while gold thread adds a touch of opulence to their majestic robes. The composition is richly adorned with ornate decorative elements that further enhance its grandeur. A magnificent canopy hangs above the royal couple, symbolizing power and authority. A parasol held by a maid signifies protection and luxury. Meanwhile, a fierce lion stands guard at their side as a representation of strength and nobility. This masterful work exemplifies the artistry and skill involved in textile craftsmanship during the 17th century English School period. It serves as a testament to the enduring beauty that can be achieved through needlework. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back in time to witness this historic meeting firsthand – an extraordinary convergence of two powerful rulers brought to life through delicate threads and intricate stitching techniques.
