An object of this disertation is a tapestry and its join or integration in the interiorr of public building. A single text is separated into a few parts. Into theoretical a documentation to practical work and finally is added hooked illustration. Every part has its specificity and it deals with definite topic. History of worlďs and Czech tapestry short describes the first part, the theoretic. My effort here was dokument in more details historic and contemporary creation of both Czech manufactures conversant with tapestries. In the documentation to practical part I besides of interiorselection public building target the psychologically and colour incidence of given space. Another chapters then solves proportions, colourfull ness material and finally art, which will be the tapestry made an issue of previous thinking and treatise was an origin of final design tapestry in two variants of final fulfilment also in two possible techniques.The last chapter this part deal with suitable location of tapestry in the space of borehall. Final variant sof tapestry installed by the help of computer programme Photoshop we find in the last, also picture part.

Vertumne et Pomone. Une fable et son décor dans quatre tentures tissées d’or<p><p>Résumé de la thèse<p><p>L’étude porte sur quatre ensembles de tapisseries que se partagent actuellement le Kunsthistorisches Museum à Vienne, la Fondation Gulbenkian à Lisbonne et les collections du Patrimonio National à Madrid. Chaque série illustre la fable de Vertumne et Pomone issue des Métamorphoses d’Ovide dans un somptueux théâtre de pierre et de verdure. Tissées à Bruxelles vers 1545, les tapisseries racontent en neuf épisodes les transformations de Vertumne, le dieu des saisons, en vue d’approcher et de séduire Pomone, déesse des vergers. A travers l’exploration des composantes historiques, formelles et iconographiques des ensembles tissées, la thèse aborde l’art de tapisserie comme une forme d’expression qu’il s’agit de situer dans l’histoire artistique et culturelle des Pays-Bas méridionaux à l’aube de la seconde moitié du XVIe siècle. <p>La thèse est divisée en quatre parties qui correspondent à quatre lectures complémentaires de l’œuvre.<p>Dans la première partie, l’histoire des pièces dans les collections introduit la description et la présentation des quatre séries de tapisseries. La seconde partie étudie les circonstances de production et de création artistique. La troisième partie qui constitue le cœur de la thèse est dévolue à l’étude des thèmes et des formes, à l’exploration de l’imaginaire du jardin de Pomone et de ses décors. La dernière partie dégage les significations secondaires qui naissent de la rencontre de l’œuvre (de son contenu et de son expression formelle) et des circonstances liées à leur usage comme décor princier.<p><p>La thèse se présente premièrement comme une contribution à l’histoire de la tapisserie. L’étude de la réception des formes mythologiques et architecturales dans ces chefs-d’œuvre textiles révèlent en outre l’existence d’un concept à la fois mental et formel qui inscrit dans l’œuvre, les rapports entre son destinataire et l’environnement social, idéologique et culturel de ce dernier. / Doctorat en Histoire, art et archéologie / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Esta dissertação tem como objetivo mapear as principais mostras coletivas de tapeçaria que ocorreram no Brasil entre as décadas de 1960 e 1970. O recorte inicial foram as Trienais de Tapeçaria ocorridas no Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo em 1976, 1979 e 1982, depois a pesquisa foi ampliada para as demais mostras nacionais de tapeçaria: Primeira Mostra de Tapeçaria Brasileira, realizada no Museu de Arte Brasileira da Fundação Armando Álvares Penteado, em 1974; e Evento Têxtil 85, realizado no Museu de Arte do Rio Grande do Sul, em 1985. Nesse sentido pretendeu-se estabelecer quem foram seus principais artistas, e apresentar os discursos sobre tapeçaria produzidos na época. / This thesis aims to map mains coletive tapestry shows, which occurred between the 1960s and 1970s in Brazil. Thus, the Tapestry Triennials held at the Museum of Modern Art of São Paulo in 1976, 1979 and 1982 and then expanded the research for the other national tapestry exhibitions was expanded: First Brazilian Tapestry Exhibition held at the Museum of Art Brazilian Association of the Armando Álvares Penteado Foundation in 1974 and the Textile Event 85 held at the Rio Grande do Sul Art Museum in 1985. In this sense, it was intended to establish who were its main artists and present the speeches on tapestry produced at the time.

<p>During the 1550s, a warehouse was constructed in Antwerp with funds from both the city government and a private investor. This building, the Tapissierspand, became the global center for selling and distributing tapestries of extraordinary beauty, exquisite craftsmanship, and exorbitant cost. The construction of the building indicates that the very nature of how tapestries were made and purchased was changing in the 1550s. Although Antwerp's fairs had long been convenient locations for agents to find luxury items that might please their wealthy clients, like with many luxury trades, tapestry sales were shifting from strictly commissioned sales to include on spec sales. The Tapissierspand was the ideal place for a dealer to purchase multiple already-made tapestries and load them onto the waiting ships in Antwerp's busy harbor for export and resale abroad. The city's export registers document that thousands of yards of tapestry were shipped this way. </p><p>The regulatory environment in Antwerp was much less strict than in other cities and this permitted freer interactions within guilds and across industries. The city was for this reason a desirable location for craftsmen to work and sell. But because the strict royal ordinances delivered throughout the 1530s and 1540s were frequently uninforced, workers in the industry were forced to find other ways to manage the large risk inherent in the tapestry trade. The development of the Tapissierspand in Antwerp was an effort on the part of merchants and the city to abate risk. The city could continue to entice merchants if it could provide the right opportunities and environment. However, by the sixteenth century, the constant hyper-vigilance the city had experienced throughout the fifteenth century during frequent times of war and financial difficulty shaped the way the city and its occupants viewed business. In a large sense, everything came down to risk, and how to manage it and minimize it. </p><p>At a time of upheaval and mismanagement, survival and financial success through the reduction of risk became of primary importance. Tapestry weaving carried inherent--and large--risks. Raw materials were expensive, and workshops often did not have the capital needed for on spec weaving. The purchase of on spec tapestries without any guarantees of quality or origin was risky for buyers. Thus the Tapissierspand's story is one of people seeking to maximize economic advantage and minimize risk. The Tapissierspand allowed buyers and sellers to minimize risk by facilitating exchange of knowledge, assessment of quality, negotiation of prices and commissions, and extension of credit. </p><p>This dissertation will examine the historical precedents in Antwerp that allowed the Tapissierspand to develop, and the ways in which the Pand functioned to expand trade while reducing risk for both buyers and sellers by reducing the risks inherent in the industry.</p> / Dissertation

For the past three centuries, historians have speculated and argued over the dating, patronage and provenance of the Bayeux Tapestry. Researchers have pondered the Latin inscriptions; reflected on the techniques of production and the use of narrative devices; mined the Tapestry for information on a number of subjects, including architectural styles, costumes, modes of navigation, nascent heraldry, and weaponry; and focused on areas of special interest, especially on scenes such as the so-called "Aelfgyva episode." Additionally, the Tapestry has been described as an epic and/or a panegyric; it has even been compared to a chanson de geste, a Shakespearian play, a film, and a cartoon; it has been "deconstructed," and finally turned into a "hypertext" accessible via the internet. Yet, in spite of many promises, the borders of the Bayeux Tapestry remain largely unexplored to date. This apparent neglect may be due to the difficulty one encounters when attempting to retrieve the symbolism and the meanings of the pictographs, which, even at the time of production, may have been multiple and may have depended on the cultural level, social awareness and political leanings of the beholders. The purpose of this dissertation is to acquaint the reader with a novel approach to the reading of the Bayeux Tapestry, based on the premise that the border pictographs are charged with symbolic meaning; that their meaning(s) inflect(s), reflect(s) and even alter(s) the images in the center field; and that this synergic interplay helps in the discovery, and stimulates the generation of a new understanding and integrated interpretation of the Bayeux Tapestry. For my research to be comprehensive and in order to uncover and decode some of the latent symbolic meanings, it was fundamental to take into account the social, cultural and political history of eleventh-century Northwestern Europe, and to acquire an appreciable knowledge of the lives of the important individuals illustrated in the Bayeux Tapestry. It was also necessary to be aware that, since the shaping of minds and the rewriting of history was already practiced in the eleventh century, the possibility existed that the Bayeux Tapestry was more than objective history recorded on cloth, but was someone's -- perhaps the patron's -- interpretation of historical events. Thus, this dissertation takes the reader on a journey inside and outside the frame to achieve an integrated reading of the Bayeux Tapestry and its borders.

This project aimed to address the lack of research into the mechanical properties and degradation mechanisms for historical tapestries at the fabric level and understand how effective conservation support strategies can be in the preservation of these artifacts. The research incorporated a large range of techniques from diverse disciplines including weaving, ageing, computer modeling, biochemistry and conservation science. The successful manufacture and ageing of relevant samples provided an excellent opportunity to include testing of historical samples for comparison. Tensile testing of all samples provided a valuable insight into the characteristics of degraded historical samples compared to artificially aged samples. Although individual ageing processes – including UV ageing, Relative Humidity (RH) – thermal cycling and mechanical strain ageing produced a reduction in strength, the historical samples showed a far greater loss of strength due to the combination of all types of ageing in addition to handling and pollution damage. A proteomic analysis of the wool fibres resulted in a greater understanding of the degradative “dark” wool ageing process which suggests that wool yellowing and tendering can be produced not just through photo-chemical reaction. Additionally, the chemical analysis laid an important foundation for future research into linking chemical mechanisms of damage with mechanical loss of strength. Analysis using electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR) provided an insight into the free radical chemistry of a range of wool/wool samples. It was observed that the light aged samples produced thiyl radicals whereas thioperoxy radicals were seen in the heat-humidity aged samples. This implies separate chemical reactions occur to produce degradation in the different ageing regimes. EPR analysis of some historical samples produced a carbon-based radical peak linked to a soot calibration signal. Further research on historical samples found phenolic radicals, possibly linked to the complex dye chemistry. Further research needs to be undertaken to fully clarify these findings. A world-wide questionnaire to textile conservators has provided a useful resource in terms of a survey of methods and materials used across the world – including technical data as well as more “ethical” motivations for conservation. The results of this survey were used along with the physical data collated in the mechanical testing as information inputted into a finite element model (FEA) to undertake the digital modeling of a tapestry hanging under its own weight. Although more research is needed to fully develop this model, a preliminary investigation has been established which can be used in future research as a tool for textile conservators across the world.

This master thesis deals with an architecture Model-View-Controller. It explains the principle, model, usage and benefits of an architecture. Futhure more, it presents the best known web frameworks on Java platform which derive benefit from this architecture. There are frameworks like Apache Struts, Tapestry and Spring. In my thesis, the principles of framworks and the work with them are described. Concerning another part of my thesis, there are simple applications which use this frameworks. The work gives instructions to make these applications. It describes and compares the latest versions of these tools. It deals more with framework Spring, describes its elementary principles and modules with enhanced sight to Web MVC of Spring.
