Publisher's Synopsis

Excerpt from La Tapisserie

La peinture en matieres textiles, tel est le nom que l'on a donne, et avec raison, a la tapisserie; car si, par la franchise du procede, elle l'emporte sur la broderie, qui est surtout un travail de patience et qui admet d'in nombrables retouches, elle l'emporte aussi sur elle'par la liberte d'interpretation laissee a ses representants. Saufaux epoques de decadence, deperversion du gout, le tapissier traduit, interprete, transpose, dans d'autres tons, les modeles, les cartons, pour nous servir du terme technique, que le peintre compose pour lui; c'est meconnaitre les lois de son art que de lui demander de copier servilement un tableau ou une fresque.
