EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite panel, hailing from Panel, Turkey, dates back to the 16th century, making it an invaluable piece of Anatolian heritage art. The creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, but its intricate design and exceptional craftsmanship are a testament to the artistic prowess of the region during this period. The panel is a stunning example of the textile art that flourished in Asia Minor during the late Ottoman Empire. Measuring an impressive size, it is adorned with a vibrant floral motif, featuring a harmonious blend of green and red hues. The dominant color palette is achieved through the use of cotton, silk, and metallic thread, which adds a lustrous sheen to the piece. The panel is a prime example of a warp-float faced satin weave with supplementary brocading wefts, supplementary binding wefts, and supplementary warps, forming voided and cut velvet. This complex weaving technique required immense skill and patience, resulting in the creation of a textile that is both visually stunning and tactilely captivating. The floral motifs are meticulously woven, with each petal, leaf, and stem rendered in intricate detail. The green color dominates the design, evoking a sense of natural beauty and serenity, while the red accents add a touch of vibrancy and contrast. The metallic thread used in the weaving adds an additional layer of depth and richness to the overall design. This panel is a rare and precious survivor from the sixteenth century, offering a glimpse into the artistic traditions of Turkey during this period. It is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
