B)Girona Tapestry
C)Romanesque embroidered panel
D) both a & b

Answer 1

The majestic embroidery kept in Girona Cathedral in Catalonia is known as the 'Tapestry of Creation'. It is an embroidery, similar to the Bayeux Tapestry, which is also misidentified as a tapestry when it is, in fact, an embroidered piece.

Step-by-step explanation:

The giant embroidery that is preserved in the cathedral of Girona in Catalonia and depicts the theme of creation is called A) Tapestry of Creation. Contrary to its naming, the Bayeux Tapestry is not a tapestry but rather an embroidery. A tapestry is a textile with imagery woven directly into the cloth, whereas the Bayeux Tapestry has imagery that is actually embroidered onto the linen cloth using wool yarn.

This confusion is common due to the similar grandeur and use of fabric in both tapestries and embroideries. The Bayeux Tapestry, which is around 900 years old and depicts significant events like the Battle of Hastings in 1066, is a famous example of such embroidery. The quality and preservation of these artworks are remarkable considering that most fabric pieces from the period have deteriorated over time.
