EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning panel from Italy, dating back to the late 19th century. The creator of this exquisite piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to its allure. Displayed in the renowned Art Institute of Chicago, this artwork exemplifies the rich heritage and artistic prowess that flourished during this era. The panel is a testament to European craftsmanship, featuring a vibrant floral motif meticulously woven into silk and cotton fabric. Its intricate design reflects the influence of French artistry prevalent at that time. The use of gilt metal strip supplementary facing wefts adds opulence and elegance to the overall composition. This textile masterpiece was created using a silk and cotton warp float faced 31 z twill weave technique, resulting in a visually striking pattern with alternating cut and uncut voided velvet sections. The combination of two-color supplementary pile warps further enhances its depth and texture. As you gaze upon this remarkable artifact, transported back in time by over a century, one cannot help but appreciate the skillful weaving techniques employed by unknown hands. This photograph serves as both an homage to Italian craftsmanship and an invitation for viewers to explore history through art.
