 Accentuate Home Beauty with Tapestries

Tapestry is a fabulous creative expression of fine art and makes a magnificent, decorative display in almost
every home setting. Tapestry in modern times is generally attributed to William Morris in England. He revived
tapestry weaving by his vision and creative energy. As an art form however, modern yarns and techniques
allow us to enjoy superlative works of art at reasonably affordable prices -- often much affordable than a
framed print. Needless to say, a great expertise goes into producing these art forms, especially in designing.

As tapestries are quite different from posters or framed prints therefore they demand due importance and a
lot of thought for proper display. However there are some tested and fruitful methods to make your interior
designs appear in the best possible way. If you have long and tall vertical tapestry like Portiere then you must
choose a thin and tall wall to place it ensuring that there is some extra space to frame it. It would almost give it
a busy appearance, heading off the effect of the wall. This would help the tapestry to add upon the beauty of
the wall.

www.crofteuropeantapestries.co.uk is a leading art tapestry store. The online store has tapestries available at
very affordable prices. The tapestry art prints are cheaper than framed prints and serve as an art heirloom. The
collection includes Tapestry design art by artists of wide acclaim like Raphael. He was a great master of
paintings; his drawings were prized and sought after even during his lifetime.

The collection at Croft Europe also contains tapestry art by François Boucher. An accomplished artist during
the 18th century, Boucher had many of his paintings woven into tapestries during the Renaissance period.
He was a French painter and was noted for his pastoral and mythological scenes, whose work embodies the
frivolity and sensuousness of the rococo style.

In figure tapestries, the store has stocks of wall hangings styled on the works of Boucher. Examples of his work
include some masterpieces like Triumph of Venus and the tapestry series of Loves of the Gods. His talent with
the brush is surreal. For more information on tapestries and to purchase wall decor, visit

 Tapestry: Great Stuff to adorn the Wall

Wall hanging art, tapestry, is one of the most pervasive works of art. Throughout historical Europe and
elsewhere many cathedrals had a number of ornate tapestries depicting religious scenes, and kings or nobility
would often commission a tapestry to tell the story of a great battle or event. Innumerable heroes and nobility
have owned hand-woven wall hangings tapestries in France, England, Germany, and Italy from the thirteenth
to the eighteenth centuries. A Wall hanging art tapestry is a woven image which may use any number of textiles
and may come in a wide range of sizes. Generally a tapestry refers to a wall-hanging which depicts a scene, but
the term may also be used in conjunction with other textiles to indicate that a tapestry scene is woven onto an
item.

Since the tapestry can also be removed from a wall and rolled up for easy transport, in many circumstances
they were preferred to murals or other static forms of art. In a cathedral or other religious setting this mobility
meant the tapestry could be kept stored away to be brought out only for special occasions and ceremonies,
helping to add to its perceived importance.

If you have a large tapestry it is best to place it on a selected wall where the outward show can be displayed

 Religious Tapestry: A great way to show your belief in God

Religious Tapestries have always held a special place in art history, in light of the sheer passion for issues of
faith that many find compelling as an inspirational subject matter. For ages, people have sought to find new
ways of expressing their beliefs and convictions through art and religious tapestries have provided the
vehicle for many by which these interpretations could be realised.

The appeal of religious tapestry throughout the ages can be easily understood when one recognises just
how deeply spiritual matters have affected our hearts and souls. Faith has for long provided answers to the
most perplexing questions of life; indeed it has delivered hope and certainty in an uncertain mortal world.
And just as spiritual literature has provided the cement which binds individual beliefs and core values
together, faith-based tapestries have emerged over time to continuously replenish our souls through
stunning visual depictions that some may even believe have been touched by the hand of God himself.

As a result, these representations afford us a mere glimpse into that which cannot ultimately be fully
comprehended nor communicated in any earthly language. Essentially, the substantive breadth and depth of
spiritual subject matter has resulted in an eternal appeal to not only conversationalists, but artists as well.
Our individual beliefs are not simply trivial topics which come and go over time. They delve into the very
fabric of our being and strengthen our character.

Religious wall hangings are available in many different forms. Since spirituality can be as varied and
diverse as the people who embrace it, a large assortment of tapestries is available in the market which
represents differing approaches to faith. While many are focused on Christian-based themes, others may
concentrate on more abstract concepts cantered on angels, mythology, legend or folklore. Spirituality has
different meanings for different people and one is likely to find colourful, thought-provoking works of art in
the tapestry market symbolising any set of beliefs. Religious wall hangings are art heirlooms and will one
day become a valuable antique for your family.

www.crofteuropeantapestry.co.uk is one of the largest Internet tapestry store that provides a wide variety of
religious wall hanging. There is a rich and interesting history behind most of the religious wall hangings.
