Tapestry Colour Studies: Dovecot Studios after Raphael, The Miraculous Draught of Fishes (detail), 2022

Woven using one of Raphael’s original cartoons as a starting point, the tapestry reflects current practices in tapestry interpretation, creating a more natural and painterly feel for the design, rather than the more formal weaving style found in renaissance tapestry.

Dovecot weavers propose this tapestry to be a Post-Raphaelite interpretation, acknowledging and celebrating the Renaissance master’s huge influence on art, and weaving the design to reflect the naturalism and spirit of Raphael’s vision in the original cartoons.

Specification: 

• Ash waxed frame (200mm x 200mm)
• Anti-reflective and UV protected glass (Artglass AR70)
• Dovecot Studios mark of authentication

Every sample sold supports Dovecot and allows us to create artwork for Scotland and sustain the future of tapestry weaving.
