Tapestry is a fabulous creative expression of fine art and makes a magnificent, decorative display in almost every home setting. Tapestry in modern times is generally attributed to William Morris in England. He revived tapestry weaving by his vision and creative energy. As an art form however, modern yarns and techniques allow us to enjoy superlative works of art at reasonably affordable prices -- often much affordable than a framed print. Needless to say, a great expertise goes into producing these art forms, especially in designing.
As tapestries are quite different from posters or framed prints therefore they demand due importance and a lot of thought for proper display. However there are some tested and fruitful methods to make your interior designs appear in the best possible way. If you have long and tall vertical tapestry like Portiere then you must choose a thin and tall wall to place it ensuring that there is some extra space to frame it. It would almost give it a busy appearance, heading off the effect of the wall. This would help the tapestry to add upon the beauty of the wall.
www.crofteuropeantapestries.co.uk is a leading art tapestry store. The online store has tapestries available at very affordable prices. The tapestry art prints are cheaper than framed prints and serve as an art heirloom. The collection includes Tapestry design art by artists of wide acclaim like Raphael. He was a great master of paintings; his drawings were prized and sought after even during his lifetime.
The collection at Croft Europe also contains tapestry art by François Boucher. An accomplished artist during the 18th century, Boucher had many of his paintings woven into tapestries during the Renaissance period. He was a French painter and was noted for his pastoral and mythological scenes, whose work embodies the frivolity and sensuousness of the rococo style.
In figure tapestries, the store has stocks of wall hangings styled on the works of Boucher. Examples of his work include some masterpieces like Triumph of Venus and the tapestry series of Loves of the Gods. His talent with the brush is surreal.
