The Woven Image

BBC One
on BBC One London

Two programmes on tapestry, its history, special qualities and delights.
1: Real Life to Romance
What is tapestry? When and how did the necessary craft of weaving become an art? Ceremonial dress for a Peruvian Indian, propaganda for a Sun King - tapestry has been both these things.
In this programme Edwin Mullins looks at its beginnings, from the earliest surviving pieces of Egyptian, Coptic, Chinese and Peruvian work, through specific images of the Apocalypse in 14th-century France, to the courtly romance of The Lady and the Unicorn.
