About the Item
A spectacular flemish 17 century combined verdure and mythological handwoven wool tapestry in a simple palette of beige, green, brown and blue, framed with a complete floral border and its original protective burlap backing .Combining romanticism, classicism and baroque artistry, this tapestry is a quintessential example of this highly evolved art form that flourished in Dutch-influenced Flanders throughout the 17th century. According to the kind generosity of a 1st Dibs subscriber, the mythological tapestry depicts Helen being persuaded by Paris, who had been promised her by Aphrodite to leave her husband, King Menelaus, and sail away with him to city of Troy.. In the tapestry Paris is shown in classical battle uniform wearing a plumed helmet holding Helen"s left hand beckoning her in the direction of a partially visible masted galleon for the journey by sea to Troy. The right side of the tapestry shows crowd bidding Helen and Paris farewell.
