Two Panels: A Vibrant Display of 17th Century Spanish Design and Weaving Technique This stunning pair of panels, hailing from Spain during the 17th century, showcases the rich artistic heritage and textile expertise of Europe during this period. The exact creator of these masterpieces remains unknown, adding to their allure and mystery. Each panel measures approximately 112.1 x 51.2 cm (44 x 20 inches) and is woven in a silk satin weave, self-patterned by reversing the faces satin damask technique. The intricate design is adorned with a floral motif, featuring an array of roses, carnations, and other blossoms, skillfully woven in red and various shades of color. The damask weave, a traditional European textile technique, is characterized by its distinctive reversible pattern. The satin weave creates a smooth and lustrous surface, while the hidden ground weft creates the intricate design when viewed from the reverse side. This technique was highly valued during the 17th century for its elegance and sophistication. The panels are believed to have originated from Spain, a country renowned for its textile industry during this time. The vibrant red hue and the elaborate floral motifs are characteristic of the Spanish tradition, reflecting the country's cultural heritage and artistic influence. These panels are now part of the esteemed collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, where they continue to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. Their intricate design, rich history, and exquisite craftsmanship serve as a testament to the artistic achievements of the 17th century and the enduring allure of textile arts.
