Racconti tessuti. Arazzi e ricami dal Gotico al Rinascimento
MOSHE TABIBNIA GALLERY
From May 7th to July 11th, 2015, Gallery Moshe Tabibnia presents "Racconti tessuti. Arazzi e ricami dal Gotico al Rinascimento", a far-reaching exhibition casts a light on the findings of extensive research and study carried out on some of the earliest examples of European tapestries and embroideries, which can be regarded as masterpieces of textile art, for the high standard of their designs and outstanding quality in execution.

Gallery Moshe Tabibnia is located in the heart of Milan, within walking distance from the Pinacoteca di Brera and Palazzo Reale, which is hosting two concurrent exhibitions, "Il principe dei sogni – Giuseppe negli arazzi medicei di Pontormo e Bronzino" and "Arte lombarda dai Visconti agli Sforza".
 
The exhibition at Gallery Moshe Tabibnia is structured thematically, chronologically, and geographically, unfolding into six sections. The first five sections, offer insights into the thematic areas explored within the volume dedicated to the Zaleski collection, showcasing 15th Century Gothic tapestries from Switzerland and Germany; Franco-Flemish tapestries woven between the 15th and the 17th Centuries; mille fleurs, verdure and feuille de choux tapestries; narrative and allegorical tapestries dating between the 16th and the 17th Centuries; and sacred and profane embroideries executed between the 16th and the 19th centuries. The last section pays homage to the theme of the Expo 2015, and features textile artifacts which, by way of their subjects and/or original functions, connect to the theme of nourishment in history and culture, and to the use of food as a sacred symbol.
