Le mot «crewel» désignait à l’origine une laine peignée à deux fils. La broderie de laine - bien que fort ancienne - connut une telle popularité en Angleterre au XVIIème siècle et en Amérique du Nord au siècle suivant, que les motifs couramment employés pendant cette période prirent également le nom de «crewel».  1, record 1, French, - broderie%20crewel

It was during the Renaissance that Italian embroidery was famous throughout Europe for its meticulous detail and technical proficiency. Under the patronage of the Medicis, Florence became an important centre for embroidery. Prominent artists such as Raphael, were commissioned to make designs to be stiched by such men as Antonio Pollaiuolo, whose embroideries were recognised as important examples of Renaissance art. In Venice, typical openwork evolved into lace, removing threads and replacing them with stiches. Casalguidi is known for another distinct form of white linen embroidery and in Florence expensive silk and woollen threads were worked on canvas in a technique known today as "Bargello work" after the palace there.  1, record 2, English, - Italian%20embroidery

A form of embroidery practiced in England in the high middle ages.  1, record 4, English, - opus%20anglicanum

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT

The defining characteristic of opus anglicanum is the extensive use of a stitch called underside couching. Pieces were done in colored silk thread, with gold and silver couched to form the background, often completely covering the ground fabric. The couching was done in such a way that the background formed geometric patterns on its own, such as lozenges, fleurs de lis, or brick patterns. Often jewels and beads were worked into the pattern.  1, record 4, English, - opus%20anglicanum
