Fine Verdure, Flemish Tapestry From Oudenaarde, 18th Century

- Tapestry of the "Verdure" type woven in a Flemish workshop (Oudenaarde) in the 18th century.

- Fine verdure woven in the 18th century in a Flemish workshop in Oudenaarde. This tapestry, typical of the Verdures, offers us an open window onto a green landscape where nature and the presence of man coexist, signified by architectural elements in the background. Positioning the observer at the edge of a wood, this point of view allows us to compose a landscape of great variety with depth; a foreground with large trees on each side like stage curtains revealing a landscape embellished with a stream at the foot of a dwelling. In the background, at different heights, two other building complexes can be seen on the left and right. The vegetation is presented to us with great liveliness, as evidenced in particular by the perceptible movement of the foliage of the trees.

- This greenery is distinguished by its fine weaving which allowed the weavers to meticulously transcribe the details of the design. In addition, the volumes are perceptible thanks to judicious choices of colors; light shades juxtaposed with darker ones and bursts of light introduced by touch, thanks to the use of golden yellow silk, at the ends of the leaves. The colors offer picturesque shades of blue and green. - Tapestry partially lined, rings as a hanging system.
