Hestia tapestry

 

The Hestia tapestry, named after the ancient Greek goddess of the hearth and home, refers to a set of tapestries created by Edward Burne-Jones, a prominent British artist and designer associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. These tapestries were designed in the late 19th century and depict various scenes related to domestic life and the concept of home.

The Hestia tapestries are characterized by their intricate and detailed designs, often featuring figures in domestic settings, surrounded by ornate patterns and symbols. They reflect Burne-Jones' interest in medieval and mythological themes, as well as his emphasis on beauty and craftsmanship.
