The Oxburgh Hangings are needlework hangings that are held in Oxburgh Hall, made by Mary, Queen of Scots and Bess of Hardwick.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Oxburgh Hangings, panel )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Oxburgh Hangings )〕 The hangings were made between the years 1570 and approximately 1585.〔 An accomplished needlewoman, Bess of Hardwick joined Mary at Chatsworth House for extended periods in 1569, 1570, and 1571, during which time they worked together on the hangings.〔Digby, ''Elizabethan Embroidery'', p. 58-63〕 At that time Mary was imprisoned, in the custody of the Earl of Shrewsbury.〔 The hangings' design was devised at her request.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bard Graduate Center: Decorative Arts, Design History, Material Culture - Galleries at the BGC - Main Gallery - Object of the Month - Pair of Gloves with Emblematic Decoration )〕 The Oxburgh Hangings consist of green velvet hangings, each with a square centerpiece with octagonal panels of emblems of plants and animals surrounding it. The hangings have been made into a wall hanging, two bed curtains and a valance, although these were probably not the original arrangement of the needlework, but instead most likely an arrangement sewn together in the late 17th century.〔 There is also a group of 33 embroideries which are the remains of another hanging.〔 The panels in the hangings, of which there are over a hundred, were made in cross stitch on canvas and applied to a green velvet background, and the designs of the panels were mostly based on four continental emblem books which Mary had; the panel designs were copied from wood-cut illustrations by well-known authors such as Claud Paradin, Conrad Gessner, and Pierre Belon.〔〔〔 Some of the panels' emblems include a phoenix (the symbol of Mary's mother Marie of Guise), and a dragon and a unicorn.〔 The panels made by Mary have her monogram, the letters MA superimposed on the Greek letter phi, and the panels made by Bess have the initials ES.〔 The hangings are now part of the Victoria and Albert Museum, although they are on permanent long-term loan at Oxburgh Hall.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Oxburgh Hangings )〕 ==Further reading== * ''Emblems for a Queen: the Needlework of Mary Queen of Scots'', by Michael Bath, published in 2008 * ''Needlework of Mary Queen of Scots'', by Margaret Swain, published in 2013 * ''The Oxburgh Hangings'', by Oxburgh Hall (England), National Trust (Great Britain), published in 1989 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Oxburgh Hangings」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
