Verdure Tapestry Aristoloche Oudenaarde Circa 1610

Tapestry of the Ateliers de la Marche, known as "cabbage leaves" 16th century The tapestries known as cabbage leaves, which take their name from the exuberant presence of foliage close to the leaves of crucifers, are among the most remarkable and mysterious of tapestries. The visual dynamism of the drawing -provided by the profusion of wild foliage seeming to come out of the darkness- sometimes seems at the limit of abstraction for the modern eye. More wild and almost surreal, the cabbage leaf tapestries appear in the middle of the first half of the 16th century and are probably derived from millefleur tapestries. While the latter retained an apparent peace and order and were drawn without any perspective, the cabbage leaf tapestries, with their broad leaves, show a rich and spontaneous imaginary nature, defying form. and reason, are decidedly three-dimensional.With a specialist, you can be sure of avoiding any nasty surprises. www.jeanlouisgoy.com.
