A TAPESTRY IN A MUSEUM

Abstract

This work proposes a way of inclusion and interpretation of works that are not considered in the academic corpus or in recent art histories. In this case I propose the approach to “The Garden of Eden”, a rug embroidered by the sisters of the Order of St. Catherine in the eighteenth century, belonging to the collection of sacred art of the Museum of Religious Art Luis de Tejeda of the City of Córdoba. The mat has a series of signs that make it an image of relevance and interest to understand our environment and our current affairs.
