The motif here comes from the predominantly blue Millefleurs tapestry from the Château de Langeais in the Loire Valley; this collection
The collection of very colorful tapestries is remarkable. It includes vast wall carpets woven with plant decorations. These are sometimes enhanced with coats of arms as a central motif or strewn with familiar animals.
With a decorative, narrative function or simply to conserve heat, they are an integral part of the lordly living environment of the Middle Ages. To make a tapestry, natural materials such as wool or linen are used, also incorporating more precious materials such as silk, as well as gold and silver threads. The blue color that dominates in this tapestry comes from the plant called pastel.
These works of art evoke, in fact, the refined lifestyle of the late Middle Ages.
