David’s talk will explore two specific areas for which the English were famous throughout Europe in the 14th and 15th centuries – alabaster sculptures and embroideries. The workshops of the East Midlands (especially Nottingham) exported sculptures throughout the continent, and English embroideries were equally admired by popes, kings and queens of Western Europe. So admired were English embroideries that the art became known as ‘opus anglicanum’ (English work).
