Among the fabrics known as "toile de Jouy," some depict literary and musical themes that were once in vogue. By providing as many images to read as to see in furnishings, they undoubtedly represent a way to embellish interiors, while displaying culture and affirming good taste in the eyes of others, and first of all, oneself. Conducive to reverie, responding to a narrative logic, the historiated canvases quickly established themselves as a new decorative art.
The catalog Fabrics and literature invites you on a journey into the world of literature, theater and music of the 18th and 19th centuries, through the emotions, reflections and aspirations relayed by the Indians.
