Gobelin refers to a type of tapestry that originated in France during the 15th century. It is named after the Gobelins Manufactory, a royal factory established in Paris, which became famous for producing high-quality woven textiles. Gobelins are characterized by their intricate designs, often depicting historical, mythological, or pastoral scenes, and are made using a technique called weaving. The Gobelin tapestries were highly sought after by nobility and royalty, serving as both decorative art and a status symbol. Today, they are considered valuable works of art and are often displayed in museums and galleries, showcasing the craftsmanship of the French Renaissance and the skill of tapestry weavers.
