This tapestry is based on the cartoons designed by William Morris (1834 - 1896) and Edward Burne-Jones (1833 - 1898) in 1885.   The figure is the goddess Flora who was, in Roman mythology, the goddess of flowers and the season of spring. While she was otherwise a relatively minor figure in Roman mythology, being one among several fertility goddesses, her association with the spring gave her particular importance at the coming of springtime.

Her festival, the Floralia, was held between April 28 and May 3 and symbolized the renewal of the cycle of life, drinking, and flowers. We can read the following verse written in Gothic type: "I am the handmaid of the Earth, I broider fair her glorious gown, and deck her on her days of mirth, with many a garland of renown, and while earth's little ones are fain, and play about the mother's hem, I scatter every gift I gain, from sun and wind to gladden them"  

The CRAYE family’s weaving workshop was founded around the Year 1880 in the tapestry historic birthplace area of Flanders where it still pursues the famous tradition of master weavers in this region. Craye naturally came to specialize in the reproduction of wall tapestries by recreating the style of weaving from the 14th & 15th Centuries, but they also worked on a wide selection of adapted paintings of all times. We selected in this rich collection the most beautiful pieces which have been created, going from the Medieval period to the Art nouveau by way of the Romantic and the Impressionism.   Each tapestry is delivered lined and ready to hang up on wall. A certificate of authenticity is affixed on the back. You will find in each tapestry the wealth of an exclusive point of weaving, and the quality of a unique knowledge, using noble materials such as wool and cotton, weaved on true original Jacquard looms.
