18th Century Verdure Tapestry, Flemish Workshop

- “Greenery” type tapestry element, authentic 18th century weaving, Flemish workshop.

- This “Greenery” represents an element of green landscape like a window open to abundant nature. The eye is caught by the imposing tree which extends over its entire height and then by all the plants which, with their curved lines, seem to come to life. The plants are transcribed with great precision, offering numerous details that delight the eye. We can cite in particular the delicate flowers in the foreground for which the artist took care to diversify the species or the details of the tendrils of the plants on the right. We can also see in the background architectural elements reminiscent of human presence.

- The drawing is careful with a search for depth thanks to the succession of different planes. The perception of the volume of the foliage has been finely transcribed by light green tones juxtaposed with darker ones as well as by bursts of light introduced by touch, thanks in particular to the use of golden yellow silk, at the ends of the leaves.

- The materials used, the quality and finesse of execution (6 to 7 threads/cm) link this weaving to the 18th century Greenery produced in Flemish workshops (Oudenarde, Brussels, etc.).
