- This wool and silk tapestry offers us an open window onto greenery where nature cohabits with the presence of man signified by architectural elements in the background. The vegetation on display is full of character, with tall trees rising to the full height of the tapestry, and bunches of plants in the foreground, vigorously striving for height. In the foreground, two birds enliven the composition. In the background, a sinuous expanse of water draws the eye into the background, with its antiquisite architectural elements.
- This tapestry is typical of the Verdures produced between the 17th and 18th centuries in the Aubusson region. Of infinite variety, Verdures remain a constant in the production of these workshops, making them one of their favorite themes. This was a highly exported mass production for a clientele delighted to find a decorative object to refresh their interiors. While the exhibition of verdant nature is their main theme, their differences lie notably in the quality of the design, the finesse of the weaving and the borders. The tapestry we're looking at here has a highly decorative border, with elegant motifs of flowers, fruit, birds and putti set in the lower corners.
- The color palette of this tapestry retains many green tones, a notable and much appreciated feature of 18th-century greenery.
