About the Item
Very large 17th century Verdure tapestry featuring a rich depiction of nature and lush greenery. This classic hunting and landscape scene is an impressive and valuable example of Flemish weaving art. The scene portrays an encounter between three figures in a wooded environment: a kneeling woman in a gold and blue robe, a standing nobleman in armor, and an observing traveler or hunter.
The term Verdure refers to the emphasis on green and blue tones within the abundant flora. In the 17th century, such tapestries were significant status symbols, designed to bring the beauty of the outdoors into grand interiors. The layering of the landscape, the refined leaf structures, and the vista leading to distant mountains demonstrate an exceptionally high level of craftsmanship.
This tapestry was most likely manufactured in the Oudenaarde region, which was internationally renowned for its green parkland tapestries. Although acquired in France, all stylistic features point to the Flemish workshops that supplied the European aristocracy at the time. The characteristic shift towards blue-green tones is the result of using authentic vegetable dyes, such as indigo and weld. The wide, original border with acanthus leaves and floral motifs frames the scene in a monumental fashion.
An extraordinary collector's item for the serious enthusiast or for an interior with a distinct museum-like ambiance.
