THE ST. MARTIN EMBROIDERIESBy Margaret B. Freeman1968, Hardcover with Dust JacketMetropolitan Museum of ArtBook is pristine, dust cover has some wear and a tear on the cover
In the Middle Ages pictorial embroidery was considered one of the fine arts, and those who made pictures with needle and thread were often as highly skilled and highly valued as those who made pictures with brushand pigment. Franco-Flemish and Flemish pictorial embroideries of the firsthalf of the fifteenth century are rare today, and a series as extensive and fascinating as the one analyzed here can hardly be equaled. The thirty-seven individual works have been known to scholars and connoisseurs for eighty years or so, and during this time speculation has accumulated as to their origin, purpose, and iconography. the present study resolves at least part of the mystery.
