Velvet painting : ウィキペディア英語版 | Velvet painting
A velvet painting is a type of painting distinguished by the use of velvet (usually black velvet) as the support, in place of canvas, paper, or similar materials. The velvet provides an especially dark background against which colors stand out brightly. Velvet painting is an ancient technique, and took on a new popularity in the United States in the late 20th century.〔Nina C. Ayoub (March 6, 2011) "Tacky or Terrific? The Art of Experience", ''Chronicle of Higher Education'', ()〕 ==Early history==
Black velvet paintings originated in ancient Kashmir, the homeland of the fabric. These original paintings were generally religious and portrayed the icons of the Caucasus region which were painted by Russian Orthodox priests. Marco Polo and others introduced black velvet paintings to Western Europe, and some of these early works still hang in the Vatican Museums.
