Curatorial Narrative
In 1838, Achille Jubinal's "Tapisseries de Berne 11" stood at the confluence of art historical currents that prized revivalist sensibilities and an attention to antiquarian detail. The artist's reliance on textile design as his medium of choice allowed for a unique marriage of medieval forms with the modern innovations in printing technology. As such, Jubinal's tapestries occupy a liminal space between craft and fine art, their intricate patterns conjuring a reverberant atmosphere that is at once tactile and atmospheric.
When enlarged to its actual dimensions of 58x44 inches, "Tapisseries de Berne 11" presents an imposing architectural presence. The pastel hues of blue, pink, and green employed by Jubinal operate within a chromatic structure that modulates the spatial rhythm of the room, imbuing it with an atmospheric weight that is both soothing and dignified. As a designed object, this tapestry functions in tandem with its surroundings, influencing material pairings by accentuating the textures and sheens of adjacent surfaces.
This edition adapts fluidly across contemporary interior profiles, offering a stable architectural anchor.
