and New Testament are told vividly in woven tapestry art.
Stories related to Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey are expressed in
these tapestry wall hangings. Even the stories of Virgil's
Aneida and Ovid's Metamorphoses are intensely portrayed through
these wall hangings.
Innumerable heroes and nobility have owned hand-woven wall
hangings tapestries in France, England, Germany, and Italy from
ancient times to the more recent times through the thirteenth to
the eighteenth centuries. There was a period of darkness and
interruption of artistic expression between the hand-woven
tapestry art of classical antiquity and that of the thirteenth
century and wall hanging tapestries. For over a thousand years,
the weavers were content to leave the making of large tapestry
wall hangings to artists and embroider. Today they are made on
Jacquard looms.

hangings are highly personal, intense, human and spiritual. You

illusions of what reality should be. Raphael’s sketches have
made a special place in tapestries. Raphael is best known for
