During the Medieval and Renaissance periods, European tapestries were produced to be hung in castles and large churches. As much as these works of art provided sumptuous decoration, they also beautifully combined form with function. In castles, they insulated drafty buildings and created private interior spaces. They could be easily rolled up and transported from place to place or stored and brought out for special occasions. Victory in battle, tournaments and hunting were popular subjects of the tapestries made for monarchs. The church, not surprisingly, commissioned mainly those depicting Bible scenes. These hangings were often created in sets designed to illuminate Bible stories for a mostly illiterate congregation.
