La Tapisserie Française Du Moyen Âge À Nos Jours

From the Middle Ages to the present day, tapestry has always been a major mode of artistic expression. Although the Apocalypse hanging or the Lady with the Unicorn are part of the collective imagination, it is not certain that the many masterpieces woven over the centuries are as well known to all.

This extensive monograph relates more than five centuries of French tapestry. It presents its uses, the people who commissioned it, the evolution of its decoration, the major hangings in its history, and the creations of contemporary workshops.
