Cavallo, Adolfo S. Medieval Tapestries in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. NY: Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1993.
This comprehensive volume catalogs 64 medieval tapestries from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, ranging from 1350 to 1525. It provides in-depth descriptions and high-quality illustrations, including 189 black-and-white figures. The book opens with a detailed introduction on the history, techniques, and stylistic developments in tapestry weaving, focusing on France and the Netherlands. Each tapestry is contextualized in terms of design and historical use, providing an essential reference for scholars and enthusiasts alike.
Book features a cloth binding with the title on the spine and comes housed in its original slipcase, which shows light wear. The book itself is in like-new condition, though a prior owner added an address label on the front sheet. There are no other marks, highlighting, or signs of wear inside the book, making it an excellent collectible copy. 688 pages. 370 illustrations. 9.5"x11.5" ISBN: 9780870996443.
I'm asking $45 for this copy.
