A short article from the Minnesota Weaver on the historical role of tapestries in late medieval and early Renaissance Europe, where they served as decoration, insulation, and displays of wealth. It focuses on the early seventeenth century French Artemisia series, ten pieces of which are held by the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, and explains how the story was tied to Catherine de Medici and later regent queens. A captioned photograph shows one tapestry from the series, woven in 1610 for Marie de Medici.
