Description |
This exquisite embroidered scene of the Coronation of the Virgin features extravagant quantities of gold thread-in the haloes, clothing, background, and circular border with three-dimensional padded areas. Gold thread is also partially covered by at least 20 shades of silk thread so that varying amounts of gold radiate, according to the design, in an exemplary technique called or nué, or shaded gold. The figures were embroidered separately and then sewed on the ground. Christ and the Virgin are surrounded by Saints Verdiana and John Gualberto, and six angels playing musical instruments. In Florence, renowned for embroidery, painters usually sketched designs which professionals embroidered, most of whom were men by the 1400s. This design is attributed to the Florentine painter Paolo Schiavo. |
