Tapestry,
Ca. 258 x 177 cm, Italy, end of the 18th century. A religious wall hanging with the "Mercy Seat", a depiction of the Trinity appearing on paintings and icons since the 12th century, in which God the Father is seated in a sea of clouds surrounded by Cherubim, with his feet on the globe, the aureole, the cross with the body of Jesus Christ on his knees, and the Holy Spirit emerging from the mouth of God the Father in the form of a dove. From the two cornucopias in the lower part of the picture, we see the outpouring of blessings according to ancient Greek mythology. Made in silk and wool, the piece is perfectly restored, some parts of the border replaced, and fully mounted on a new linen backing. (MA)
Further literature.: Leonie von Wilckens, Die textilen Künste, Von der Spätantike bis um 1500.
