Suolo sacro. Tappeti in pittura, XV – XIX secolo
MOSHE TABIBNIA GALLERY
Leafing through the pages of a book of European art history, it is impossible not to notice the presence of carpets in so many images depicting religious scenes and daily life. In paintings dating from the Middle Ages onwards, we can see carpets laid onto the ground, at the feet of the Virgin Mary and the saints. Carpets laid on tables, with food and objects of symbolic significance upon them, were also depicted in order to set the representation of the sacred in a special position. What all these paintings have in common is that they bear witness to the notion of carpets as a place of excellence: carpets work as a sacred ground, as something exclusive and solemn. That is the message conveyed by "Suolo sacro. Tappeti in pittura,  XV – XIX secolo" at Gallery Moshe Tabibnia.
