Castles, Emperors and Tapestries
The Middle Ages were the peak of the tapestry industry. In addition to painting and sculpting, the tapestries were the most important visual art forms.
They have been made since the 14th century in weaving studios in Brussels, Bruges, Oudenaarde and Ghent.
Princes and emperors were among the greatest collectors. They showed off with the tapestries on the walls of their imposing castles. It was a sign of power and wealth but also a practical way to insulate the cold walls.
