Medieval Artistic Styles: The Influencers - Part 1
•
Cathy Jack Coupland
Embroidery is and will always be a reflection and mirroring of cultures, fashions and styles. Just look to the many excavated finds throughout the world, and you’ll see some of the most beautiful and mesmerising treasures from this time. It’s no coincidence then, that there’s a similarity of styles and symbols, re-interpreted throughout medieval design and needlecraft. Design is an influencer. Covering the first four of eight styles used in Medieval design: Romanesque, Viking, Byzantine and Gothic.
