Description:

A reference work with a comprehensible overview for both the specialist and the interested layman. A multifunctional art form. A whole world is hidden behind these works of art for which the greatest artists - Rubens, Jordaens, Teniers - have made designs. Their economic significance can hardly be overestimated. For the first time, Prof. Dr. Guy Delmarcel presents a synthesis of more than three centuries of Flemish tapestry weaving. Through his years of experience and study, he succeeds in placing everything in a correct historical perspective and giving these magnificent, majestic works of art the place they deserve. This voluminous reference work is illustrated with more than 300 reproductions of tapestries.
