Noah's Ark - wall piece - Gerda Bengtsson (GB)
A classic story in a larger format
This edition of Noah’s Ark is a narrative and atmospheric wall hanging in which Gerda Bengtsson’s distinctive visual language is given more room to unfold. The motif is based on the well-known story of the Ark and the animals, rendered with warmth, humour, and a calm sense of overview. In the larger format, the story opens up more generously, allowing time to linger on the many small details.
Animals, rhythm, and balance
The motif is built around a clear structure, with the animals arranged through light repetition and balance, creating a lively image without visual restlessness. The colours are harmoniously balanced, giving each figure its own character while preserving the overall unity. Many stitchers experience the work as both engaging and calming, as the motif is divided into manageable sections.
Cross stitch on heavier linen
The wall hanging is embroidered in cross stitch on Haandarbejdets Fremme (HF) linen 7B. The coarser linen produces a clear and robust stitch definition that suits the narrative quality of the motif and its larger scale. The embroidery is worked with Danish Flower Thread, which provides clear colours and a durable surface. Together, the materials ensure a long-lasting result that can be displayed for many years.
A project of time and presence
In this format, Noah’s Ark is aimed at stitchers who are looking for a project with greater depth and duration. The work can easily be divided into smaller sections, making it well suited to being embroidered over a longer period. The finished piece rewards the effort with an expression that is both decorative and story-driven.
A wall hanging with broad appeal
With its size of 57 × 75 cm, Noah’s Ark has a strong and visible presence on the wall. It is well suited for living rooms, children’s rooms, and shared spaces, where the story and the many animals spark joy and curiosity. For retailers, this version is a strong classic that complements the smaller edition and offers customers a clear choice between two formats.
