EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th century sampler hails from Sampler, Germany, and is a stunning example of European needlework art from the seventeenth century. The intricately embroidered piece, created on a linen plain weave fabric, showcases a vibrant array of colors and floral motifs. The designs, executed with silk thread, are meticulously sewn, demonstrating the artist's exceptional skill and dedication. The sampler is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Germany during this period, and serves as an important reminder of the cultural significance of textiles in European art. The floral motifs, which include roses, carnations, and tulips, are common in European samplers of the time and reflect the influence of the Renaissance and the growing popularity of botanical studies. This beautiful artifact, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, is a valuable addition to the institute's extensive collection of textiles and decorative arts. It invites us to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of the past, and to marvel at the beauty and intricacy of this unique and captivating work of art.
