One buying trip for twelve such textiles cost Queen Isabella of Castile the equivalent to ten years of the salary she paid the ship\u2019s master on Christopher Columbus\u2019s transatlantic voyage in 1492. A tapestry comparable in size and subject to this one belonged to Isabella\u2019s granddaughter, the Habsburg Queen Catherine of Portugal. The sixteenth-century appeal of this tapestry lay in the skill of its weavers\u2014who rendered the folds of Veronica\u2019s mantle in silver thread, tackling the challenging effect of watery reflections\u2014and in its compelling design. The life-size Veronica, head overlapping the border, seems to step out of the textile and into our space.[Elizabeth Cleland, 2017]"@en . . . "41.190.80" . "0.5098"^^ . . .
