Description

Embroidered chasuble; middle section has Flemish-style couch work, but Spanish-style applique; medallions with Christ and Madonna; on red velvet; cut narrowly. Velvet and embroidered band. "The chasuble is made of deep red velvet (red for martyrs’ days and Pentecost) and has the long length and narrow shoulder-width typical of northern European chasubles of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The appliqué-work however, is typical of Spanish needlework of the same period. The medallions of the central band contain portraits of Saint Peter, Saint Paul and the Virgin Mary and are executed in fine couching (delicate embroidery in which many threads are laid parallel and held in place by almost invisible stitches)." [text from 1977 guidebook by N Kline] Zalessky Donation ca 1955
