Saturn and the Roosters, by Jean Lurçat
Aubusson tapestry, signed, woven at the PINTON Frères – Boldouc

Discover “Saturn and the Roosters”, an exceptional Aubusson tapestry born of the collaboration between the visionary artist Jean Lurçat (1892–1966) and the prestigious PINTON Frères workshop. A representative example of the renewal of textile art in the 20th century, this piece is not merely a wall decoration, but an investment in a significant chapter of French art history.

• Artist: Jean Lurçat, a central figure in the renaissance of contemporary tapestry.

• Weaving Workshop: PINTON Frères, renowned for their ancestral craftsmanship in Aubusson.

• Title: The Roosters (a symbol of dawn, vitality, and France).

• Impressive Dimensions: 300 × 155 cm (Width × Height), ideal for a large wall, a private collection, or an institutional space.

The work stands out for its unmistakable Lurçat style, combining primal strength with a sophisticated composition. The motif is centered around two proud, stylized roosters, framed by lush, golden vegetation.

• Striking Contrast: The light background, crossed by undulating rays of bright yellow sunlight, contrasts powerfully with a dramatic upper-right corner evoking a stormy night sky—a recurring theme in Lurçat’s work, symbolizing the cycle of life, light, and darkness.

• Masterful Color Palette: The use of earthy tones, rich greens, deep reds, and radiant yellows—typical of Lurçat’s simplified carton—gives the tapestry exceptional visual texture and depth.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a museum-quality work, signed by one of the greatest artists of the 20th century, in remarkable condition.
