| Embroidered panel. Embroidery dated to the Stuart period. White silk satin worked with silk threads. The stitches used are: petit point, chain stitch, mat stitch, buttonhole stitch, satin stitch, stem stitch. Representation of the Hope with two of the Liberal Arts: Rhetoric and Logic, also represented as women. The feminine figures are set in a medallion in the centre of a fantastic garden in which enormous flowers are alternated with very small oaks. The fleshy flowers, placed in the four corners of the panel, are worked in petit point on linen canvas and seem in relief because applied over the silk. In the embroideries coming from England the representation of the flowers stylistically closely resembled some engravings taken from botanical books, available on the English market since the third quarter of the Sixteenth century. The animals represented in the decoration are: snail, butterfly, insects, caterpillars, rabbit, ladybug, hawk, fishes and ducks. Among the most ancient book of this kind are the panels embroidered in Great Britain during the reign of Mary Stuart, queen of Scotland (1542-1587). | ||
