Excerpt from Catalogue of an Exhibition of Tapestries: January 26 to February 28, 1893 Among the monuments that the past has bequeathed to us there are none which ch'er so much material for the archae ologist as ancient tapestries. The vicissitudes of this industry are closely connected with the history of the countries in which it is practised. Not only does the greater part of these productions bear the imprint of the epoch in which they were produced, but we find in them the reflection of the beliefs and of the great events of their time, with all the details of its architecture and its costumes. They give us, in fact, a picture of the intimate life of each century. M. Caste]. Les Tapisseries. The history of tapestry from the Middle Ages onward is that of painting. At that epoch the style is that of the illu minatore and the painters of glass. In the fifteenth century the influence of the early Flemish painters, the Van Eycks, Van de Weyden, Bouts, Memling and Matsys, makes itself felt.
