The Ten Commandments, The Lord's Prayer, and The Creed 1759

"The Ten Commandments, The Lord's Prayer, and The Creed" is a 1759 embroidery by Thomas Hunter, an English artist known for his needlework pieces. The artwork features the Ten Commandments, the Lord's Prayer, and the Nicene Creed presented in a decorative format. It is characteristic of the 18th-century style of devotional art that was popular among domestic audiences. The use of gilt thread, a hallmark of Hunter's work, enhances the elegance and grandeur of the religious texts. The elaborate architectural framing of the text, with its columns and arches, adds to the piece's visual appeal and reinforces the importance of the content. The intricate design and fine craftsmanship elevate this devotional piece into a work of art, showcasing the skill and artistry of its creator. This piece is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
