EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1666 showcases a remarkable piece of needlework artistry titled "Picture (Needlework), England". Created by an unknown artist, this masterpiece depicts King Charles II of England seated on his majestic throne. Above him, the word "King" is meticulously crafted in exquisite beadwork, adding a touch of regal splendor to the composition. Surrounding the monarch are courtiers adorned in elaborate attire, symbolizing the opulence and grandeur of the era. A magnificent lion and enchanting mermaid stand as mythical guardians at either side of the king's seat, representing strength and beauty. The palace setting is beautifully embellished with intricately embroidered trees, birds, and flowers that bring life to this textile artwork. The attention to detail is awe-inspiring; every stitch tells a story of skillful craftsmanship passed down through generations. This snapshot transports us back to 17th century England when needlework was not only a decorative art form but also an expression of devotion and loyalty towards royalty. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire artists today. Displayed proudly within the Art Institute Chicago's collection, this rare gem offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic brilliance.
