Opus Anglicanum: Masterpieces of English Medieval Embroidery

From the 12th to the 15th centuries, England was internationally famous mainly for one type of artistic product – elaborate luxury embroideries. These objects, were sought after by Kings, Popes and Cardinals, and often bear elaborate imagery. This exhibition will highlight the exquisite craftsmanship of the pieces and explore the world in which they were created. Alongside the magnificent embroideries, many from the V&A’s own collection, will be related material in other media such as paintings, manuscripts, metalwork and sculpture.
