Tapestries

do a very big important job for a high ranking official. For a young artist like Nicolas this was huge deal. He arrives at the estate to meet with the master of the house. He is hired to design the tapestries for the large entertaining room. The man of the house, Jean Le Viste, asks for the tapestries to depict the scenes of a battle. However Le Viste’s wife convinces Nicolas to change the design to women interacting with a unicorn. When at the Le Viste estate he meets a beautiful woman whom he immediately

The tapestry was woven of wool, silk, and gilt-metal wrapped thread between 1500 and 1520 CE. It presents Jesus standing just right of center, in front of a large fruit tree, with Mary Magdalene kneeling to his right. Because Mary and Jesus are centered horizontally in the composition, and they are both large (between 2 and 3 feet tall), the viewer can determine that they are the primary subjects in the tapestry. Christ is wearing a red robe, and the wounds

Cluny fell from the tree along with some other rats. Cluny lived but the other rats that fell died instantly. When Matthias got back, Methuselah had found some secret writing where the tapestry had once been. It was a riddle that said “Who says that I am dead, Knows nought at all. I-am that is, two mice within Redwall, The warrior sleeps, ‘Twixt hall and cavern hole, I-am that is, Take on my mighty role. Look for the sword, In moonlight

Surina finally managed to squeeze through the throng surrounding Francesca’s collection to view one of the few paintings of Earth. It was Francesca’s rendition of their former home planet during nightfall with only a few lights shining on the landmasses of Europe and Britain. Even though, she left Earth only twenty-eight days ago, the blighted planet seemed alien and barely recognizable to her. In fact, she was now more at home in the liberating refinement of space yet untouched by the stain of

The focus on this assignment will be on William the Conqueror who was the king of England, and also the Battle of Hastings. William conquered many countries and won the Battle of Hastings, which then made him King of England. William the conqueror was born in 1028 in a country called Normandy. He became the Duke of Normandy at age 8 after his father (Robert 1, Duke of Normandy) died. Because he became Duke of Normandy at a very young age, many people tried to kill him, and the people who were looking

soldier. While the female figure raises her spare hand to try and reason with the soldier, he avoids her gaze. This provides a sense of hopelessness to the scene, and shows how little power women had during the Middle Ages.

In 1903 a miraculous discovery was made in western Norway.  Under a large mound on a small farm in the Vestford region, there was unearthed a massive Viking ship.  Its treasures and contents were so large they are still being studied today. The Oseberg ship burial, as it has come to be known, gives us important information on Norwegian Viking culture.   This essay will look at the history of its discovery, the ship itself,  its objects, the intriguing carvings, the intricate fabrics, and of course

Cinematic Technique Analysis Can two tapestries made with similar thread, truly weave two different pictures? Surely if the broad scope of each tapestry is conceived and developed with the same material interlaced throughout, the end result will be similar. However, the tiny threads of difference woven amongst those similar strands can result in one tapestry quite altered from the other. An example of this can be found in comparing the film What Dreams May Come, directed by Vincent Ward, to Dante
