EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print titled "The Lovers, Basel, 1490/1500" we are transported back to the enchanting world of the 15th century. Created by an unknown artist, this exquisite piece captures a profound moment between two lovers as they pledge their unwavering faith to each other. Set against a backdrop of vibrant floral tapestries woven from hemp wool and silk in a slit and double interlocking technique, the scene exudes an air of romance and beauty. The intricate details of the fabric showcase the remarkable craftsmanship that was highly valued during medieval times. As we delve deeper into the image, our attention is drawn to the couple themselves. The man's hand gesture signifies his commitment while his headgear reflects his status in society.
