Religious tapestries |
 Religious and spiritual beliefs have strongly influenced art, and this has certainly been the case for tapestries. In ancient Rome, elements of the Christian faith including cherubs and angels have been depicted on fresco walls. As the popularity of tapestries grew in Europe in the 13th century, tapestries were used in churches to illustrate important spiritual lessons and stories. Whether it is an image of the Mary, epic biblical events, or more romanticized depictions in angel tapestries, these works certainly reflect the powerful influence of religion in art. Religious wall hangings and spiritual tapestries are marvelous pieces of wall décor. Have a look at our selection of religious wall tapestries, which ranges from classical works to modern works. |
