There are painted cloths among the items I am studying, in a 1475
inventory of goods in a parish church. My art history tutor told me
that this was the period when artists were beginning to go over from
painting on wooden panels to painting on what we would call a canvas,
but they called linen cloths. Perhaps this is what you have?
