The artwork, entitled “Peacock and Dragon woven wool furnishing fabric,” was created by William Morris in 1878. This piece belongs to the Romanticism art movement and falls within the design genre.
The artwork features an intricate pattern showcasing celestial motifs of peacocks and dragons rendered in harmonious colors of gold, blue, and green. The details exhibit Morris’s masterful skill and celebrated attention to detail, with symmetrical arrangements of flora and mythical creatures forming the primary visual focus. The repetition and interplay of these elements create an ornate and balanced composition, reflecting the aesthetic principles of the Romantic era. The weaving technique employed in creating this wool fabric accentuates the richness and depth of the design, making it not only a visual delight but also a testament to Morris’s craftsmanship and artistic vision.
