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.
