| One of the perks of membership at the Metropolitan Museum is that you get to preview new exhibits for a few days before they're opened to everyone else and get so crowded. This is part of Interwoven Globe, which shows colorful examples of textiles traded between East and West after new sea routes were discovered in the 15th century. Most of the items (like this satin chasuble made in China for the Spanish market) are incredibly well preserved. [It's Shadow Shot Sunday. To see more, go here.] |

Textiles are my favorite artform and in my opinion museums do not give them the showcase that they deserve so I am happy to see this exhibition!
ReplyDeleteThey sure are beautifully well-preserved. Presentation of textiles is so important, as not to be boring. Lighting is good.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely costumes and what fun to see them!
ReplyDeleteLucky you! Wonderful shadows too!

So beautiful even in pictures. How marvelous to see them in person. I'm late to shadow shot Sunday this week, but catching up!
ReplyDeleteThe light and shadows in this picture is art itself. Beautiful picture :)
