This print showcases a fragment from a chasuble, originating in Italy around 1601/50. Created by an unknown artist, this remarkable piece of art is now housed in the renowned Art Institute of Chicago. The photograph provides a close-up view of the intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship exhibited in this 17th-century textile. The cream-colored fabric serves as the backdrop for an array of vibrant floral motifs, beautifully woven with silk plain weave and supplemented by binding wefts and pile warps forming cut uncut and voided velvet. The red accents add depth and contrast to the design, enhancing its visual appeal. This fragment represents not only religious symbolism but also reflects the rich heritage of Italian decorative arts during that era.
