Medieval Tapestries Ever Popular In a Modern Lifestyle

Medieval Tapestries Ever Popular In a Modern Lifestyle

From another time and another world they may well be but tapestries made in and depicting events from the medieval age and other periods of history are proving just as popular, if not more so, with modern art lovers and homeowners as they were all those many years ago.

When the medieval age is talked about, the time usually referred to, is about a thousand years, up to and often including the fifteenth century. A time then after the Roman Empire had crumbled into its own portion of history. Actually, translated from Latin, "The Middle Ages" is perhaps a more accurate definition of that time period.

There are plenty of good examples of tapestries from the Middle Ages, including some very well known, even famous pieces of work. Reproduced today, medieval tapestries provide home owners with a chance to adorn their walls with gloriously vivid and colourful works of art.

It is impossible to discuss medieval tapestries without of course heralding the amazing Bayeux Tapestry, an astounding piece of work at about 70 meters in length and not just displaying one act but many throughout a small portion of time. It was learning about this tapestry back in my school days that I also learned about William the Conqueror and King Harold as they did battle in the dramatic scenes of 1066.

There are plenty of other well known tapestries from the era including my personal favourite, "The Tournament" which again is a dramatic depiction of life of the times. Of course the Hollywood blockbuster had yet to be invented, so tournaments and games were great spectacles of entertainment and jousting was right up there with the best of them. The colours are staggeringly evocative and the artwork does a fantastic job of translating the atmosphere. "The Lady and the Unicorn" series of tapestries are other examples of popular medieval tapestries.

It's wonderful to see that this kind of artwork is being reproduced to such high quality and demand seems to be ever increasing with new websites dedicated entirely to the retail of tapestries becoming more and more commonplace.

If you have any interest in art from the medieval ages and are currently looking for tapestry pieces to adorn the walls of your home or maybe even your office at work, then be sure to check out the internet to find out which stores are stocking your favourite medieval tapestries.
