"Gobelins: A Tapestry of Art and History" Step into the enchanting world of Gobelins, where artistry weaves together tales from different eras. The Blackbird Song, a mesmerizing oil painting from 1908, captures the essence of this magical realm. Gobelins Tapestries adorn the walls like portals to forgotten times. Each thread tells a story, transporting us to medieval battles and chivalrous knights. In an exquisite colored illustration from The Gateway to Tennyson published in 1910, we witness a Medieval Knight preparing his Morning Star for battle as part of Gareth and Lynette's tale. Glazed porcelain figurines bring historical figures back to life. Frederick the Great on his majestic horse stands proudly among these delicate treasures from Ludwigsberg. Religious scenes come alive through engravings that stir our souls. Jesus raising Lazarus from his tomb in an engraving dating back to 1865-66 reminds us of faith's power over death itself. The grandeur extends beyond tapestries and figurines; it encompasses architectural wonders too. Brereton Hall captivates with its timeless beauty captured in black-and-white photography while Westminster Abbey's interior reveals its awe-inspiring splendor in another photograph taken years ago. Immerse yourself further into this dreamlike universe with The Dream of a Summer Night - an artwork that invites you to explore your own fantasies within Gobelin's intricate tapestry. Even sketches hold their own allure here; Sir Launcelot gazes upon Guinevere in her Queen's Chamber through Henry Burton's pencil and watercolor study created way back in 1857. As we delve deeper into history, Catherine of Navarre emerges as a captivating figure who defied expectations during her reign between 1468-1517. Her legacy lives on through time-honored depictions that capture her grace and strength.
