Venezia I European Tapestry

Woven In: Woven in Belgium History: Venezia I is a Belgian jacquard woven wall tapestry. The artwork comes from an 18th century painting by Francesco Guardi detailing merchants waiting for arrival of the ship at port.

This tapestry gives us a historical view of the harbor of the ancient city. Artist: Francesco Guardi Composition: 100% Cotton.
