I wonder what else would a normal dweller do to add a unique stroke of brilliance to his home decorating schema? Famous for emanating liveliness brilliantly, the tapestries and wall hanging accessories have always been in the prioritized list of a common man. But what makes a special breed of tapestries followed and celebrated with more drive and fervor? I am referring to the Asian Tapestries, which reportedly have pushed its line of passion by driving more art enthusiasts towards them. For no reason, one can play down the value of such pieces of art, as they belong to a particular colony or a fragment of the earth's layout.
Europeans have been demonstrating a great deal of passion towards Asian tapestries. It all began in the 17th century when a brief spell of excitement amongst the Europeans made Asian tapestries something quite relatable to hot cakes. But to our dismay this thing has been there since that epoch and is ongoing still. But why was these pieces the fad during those days when it all began? Sailors, navigators and invaders were quite happy collecting these tapestries simply to own or present as tokens of emotions. It is indeed quite a worthy insignia to have, they thought. Another reason why Europeans liked it was the conflicting ideas and evocative thoughts that the Asians put into these artistic pieces. Europeans got glued since they at last found variance in thoughts via an artistic medium that exuded appeal and brilliance.
The interesting aspect pertaining to origin of the Asian tapestries is still a matter of curiosity. Doesn't that amaze? A thing, which sprang up way before in the 17th century surely for its richness and splendor, has endured several eras, dynasties and destructions to continue existing as the same old reason that matters to the art-buffs still, that too without losing a speck of attraction. This art form developed into a matter of appeal, which made Europeans to inculcate a custom of collecting Asian tapestries and wall hanging decors. Eventually this practice turned out to be a custom as well since people especially Europeans held pride in showcasing their taste for articles that demonstrated the culture, class of an alien land.
In due course, a special style of tapestry came to light. Known as Orientale, this characterized certain aspects, which were unquestionably distinct and pulling. Usually, it had tinges of tobacco and even featured riveting displays of striking creatures and commons isolated by a vibrant backdrop. Some even suggested what exactly were the settings like, in that particular area. If you are a true art enthusiast you should have understood the significance of this piece of art form, which has heightened the way the world, looked at art and different forms of representing it.
If you ask me to name the one that I loved the most, a prompt answer would be La Recotte des Ananas. Originally, a part of a sequel called " The story of Emperor of China", it signifies a daily scene in Chinese setting wherein formers keep themselves busy cultivating, the emperor himself indicating something towards the harvesting area with a pagoda standing tall amidst other citadels in the backdrop. What is the best part of this piece is its attention to detail. The creator should have squeezed his sight to as small as it can get in order to demonstrate the slightest of effects once could actually see in this kind of art form.
Such pieces of art are flooding the market even now. People have never lost interest in accepting the proudest depictions of art that has come from an exotic land. Well, that happens to be the specialty of art. No matter, what is the kind of art that is put on display, art buffs tend to lose themselves in appreciation if they find the artistic piece to be perfect. Asian Tapestries has essentially added to the grace of art, as it has never failed to symbolize a reminiscent picture of how an artistic piece should be? It even has given a distinct identity to the big-hearted enthusiasts who love to appreciate the ability of artists who grew up in the other part of the globe, to boot.
