Italian Renaissance embroidery and carpet-weaving, (1898). Creator: Unknown
Italian Renaissance embroidery and carpet-weaving, (1898). Fig 1: Embroidery on an ecclesiastical mantle in S. Croce at Florence. Fig 2: Embroidered little velvet cover in the Museum vaterlandischer Altertumer at Stuttgart. Fig 3: Embroidered velvet-border from a chasuble, ibid. Fig 4: Silk-embroidery in applique work from a chasuble, ibid. Fig 5: Relief-embroidery in gold upon silk from a chasuble, ibid. Figs 6 and 7: Silk-embroideries in applique work upon damask-ground. Fig 8: Carpet-border from a Venetian picture at Verona. Fig 9: Carpet-border from a picture by Paolo Giolfino in the museum, ibid. Fig 10: Carpet-border from a picture by Moroni in the Pinacothec at Munich. Embroidery, either applique or flat work, the latter frequently relief-like, took its motives [motifs] from the same sources as the hitherto treated branches of art, and it also united with the mere ornament proper images, especially in form of medallions. Carpet-weaving, inasmuch as it is not fancy-weaving, but applying geometric or vegetable designs, follows in the main features Byzantine and Oriental examples. Plate 51 from " The Historic Styles of Ornament" translated from the German of H. Dolmetsch. [B.T. Batford, London, 1898]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artistry of Italian Renaissance embroidery and carpet-weaving. Created in 1898 by an unknown artist, it offers a glimpse into the rich history and craftsmanship of this era. The print features various examples of embroidery, including an ecclesiastical mantle from S. Croce at Florence, a velvet cover from the Museum vaterlandischer Altertumer at Stuttgart, and velvet-border and silk-embroidery from chasubles. These intricate designs display both applique work and relief-like techniques, incorporating motifs inspired by other branches of art. In addition to embroidery, the print also highlights stunning examples of carpet-weaving. The geometric or vegetable designs seen in these carpets draw inspiration from Byzantine and Oriental influences. Not simply fancy-weaving, this form of art demonstrates meticulous attention to detail and adherence to traditional patterns. Plate 51 from "The Historic Styles of Ornament" translated from H. Dolmetsch's German text, provides us with a valuable insight into the artistic heritage that has shaped Italian Renaissance embroidery and carpet-weaving. This print serves as a testament to the skillful hands that brought these masterpieces to life centuries ago.
