Description:

ARGENTINIAN STUMPWORK TAPESTRY
El Abrazo De San Martín y Belgrano
Stumpwork on salmon ground satin. Intricate floral and natural scenery in an array of vibrant colors surround a depiction of the Argentine general, José de San Martín and Manuel Belgrano (creator of the Argentinian flag), pivotal characters in the struggle for Latin America's independence from Spain. Along the lower edge in blue, green, and violet is the title, which translates to "The Embrace of San Martín and Belgrano".

Likely an artistic rendition of the two figures meeting at the Posta de Yatasto in January of 1814, in which Belgrano handed command of the army over to San Martín, and has been depicted artistically with the two embracing. 15.5" height, 17" width
