Anne de Solene Four Continents Bedding Collection

Anne de Solène Four Continents Bedding Collection

Four Continents is a beautiful design that looks contemporary, yet it is an historic design. Printed in blue on a white ground, the look is crisp, modern and very pretty. The Four Continents design combines a toile de jouy design of 1794, coordinated with a stripe. Both the toile and the stripe are done in blue, on a whte ground. The Four Continents design was created as a painting in 1794 by the French artist Jean-Baptiste Huet. Huet's painting was copied onto copperplate engravings by Christophe-Philippe Oberkampf. In the world of textiles, Oberkampf is significant because he created the industry in Jouy en Josas, France (outside of Paris) for which this type of printed design is now called toile. Huet's influence for the Four Continents design was a Rubens painting created in the years 1610-15 in which the figures, animals and plants were allegories for the then four-known continents - Europe, Africa, Asia, and America. Percale. 100% long-stapled combed cotton.
