The Lady of the Fountain Tapestry
The Lady of the Fountain Tapestry
from an illustration by Alan Lee
“The Lady of the Fountain,“ known in Arthurian legend as “the fairest, wisest, noblest, most generous woman in the world“ was courted by the knight, Owein, with the help of her own handmaid. Exquisitely punctuated by details such as the matching jeweled crown, border and the shadowed figures in the landscape, this breathtaking piece in a unique, border framed square format, is one of the most hauntingly beautiful images we’ve seen. Hand-woven in France on a jacquard loom, this timeless, exclusive masterwork accommodates optional rod and finials or hangs on metal hangers in the lining.
