Medieval art is so underrated. I don’t think its flatness was a drawback; it inspired more abstraction and allowed for more stylized forms than after the turn to realism in the Renaissance

Your right,when you explain how they wrestled with the colors and the difficulty of making it, it truly is absolutely incredible.

Is this your favorite tapestry? If you were to start your book on tapestries would this one be included? What would say about it anything different than what was in this video?
