What is the Gobelin?
The Gobelin is a "painting by needle stitch".
It’s related to tapestry, but instead of being woven, it is sewn on canvas with a fine needle, point by point, in a process that may take anywhere from 3 months to few years, depending on size of the piece, complexity of the design, size of the needle point, number of threads and their thickness and the total number of colours.
The modern Gobelins are a form of craft work by needle stitching. It is different from the well known "cross stitch" like going from the kindergarten of needle work, to university. First of all the Gobelin requires a more complex technique, large number of colours (anywhere from maybe 20 to 90) and intricate patterns,a finer point called "petit point", which results in a type of work that from a distance is hardly distinguishable from an oil painting. And maybe that is why a great number of gobelins are replicas of well known painting masterpieces.
