Clos Luce Staircase

This image shows the tapestry in the staircase at Clos Lucé. It looks to be a small part of a much larger tapestry. Eagle eyed visitors note that the left hand side has been cut. Somebody’s foot leaving the room is minus its body. The border is on the right hand side only. Not a criticism. It’s wonderful. If you peer closely you can see it is well worn, well mended and well loved. It is to be hoped that one day someone will publish a book about all the tapestries in Clos Lucé with details of age, subject matter and place of origin.
