About the Item

A large Flemish tapestry, likely 17th century (Baroque period), woven in wool and silk. The central scene depicts an epic battle narrative with armored knights on horseback, shields raised in combat, and castle fortifications in the background. The figures are richly detailed, dressed in Renaissance-style armor, suggesting this tapestry belongs to a series illustrating classical or biblical military themes (possibly the Trojan War, Alexander the Great, or Roman battles). The border is richly woven with dense floral garlands, fruits, and scrolling foliage, a hallmark of Flemish weaving centers such as Brussels or Oudenaarde. The color palette is dominated by muted blues, ochres, and earthy greens, softened over time due to natural fading. Notable Features • Central Focus: Two mounted knights in dynamic battle, one in gilded armor, the other in blue with a plumed helmet and shield. • Background: Castle walls, turrets, and a fortified city, with soldiers marching in formation, adding depth and narrative context. • Border: Heavily floral with cartouches, fruits, and scrolling acanthus leaves, woven in high detail. • Technique: Wool warp with silk highlights for armor, garments, and sky details. Similar examples attributed to workshops producing after designs by artists such as Jan van Orley or David Teniers. Dimensions Height: 114" (289.56 cm) Width: 146" (370.84 cm)
