Tracing the History of Italian Lace

In the exhibition To Rome and Back: Individualism and Authority in Art, 1500–1800 (June 24, 2018–March 17, 2019) hangs a length of linen needle lace that was constructed stitch by stitch with needle and thread. It truly is a length, measuring 138 ¼ inches long, fitting its frame only when rolled on both sides. Fully extended, the lace reads like a timeline beginning with its creation in Italy in the early 17th century.
