Few artists have the distinction of having created work that truly deserves to be called unique. Unfortunately, we know absolutely nothing about the person who, almost 1,000 years ago, created a 230 foot long textile illustrating the events surrounding the Battle of Hastings, one of the most significant events in British history. The story is exciting, the textile even more so. This is “history painting” of a very high order. Sponsored by The Van Winkle Foundation.
