Tapestries were ubiquitous between the Middle Ages and, really, well into the 18th century, and it was pretty apparent why. Tapestries were portable. You could roll them up, send them ahead of you, and in the time it took to hang them up, you could transform a cold, dank interior into a richly colored setting.
Los tapices eran omnipresentes entre la Edad Media, incluso hasta bien entrado el Siglo XVIII; y era bastante obvio por qué. Los tapices eran portátiles. Se pueden enrollar, enviar por adelantado, y conforme se iban colgando, se podía transformar un frío y húmedo interior en un ambiente vivo, colorido.
