"Belisarius (Furnishing Fabric)" (1821) by Jean-Louis-Toussaint Caron is a repeating pattern of scenes depicting the life of the Byzantine general Belisarius. The print, a furnishing fabric, features multiple scenes set against a pale lavender ground. Each scene includes a group of figures, often in a classical landscape setting, with details of architectural ruins, trees, and foliage. The work is a prime example of French textile design from the early 19th century, echoing the Neoclassical style. It is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago.
