Flemish wall tapestry was woven on a large scale from wool with muted earth tones into a lavish landscape composition that is perfect for covering a large expanse of wall space. The bold border encircles the entire work with laurel bundle surrounded by spiraling acanthus plumes. The scene depicts a vantage point at the edge of a forest overlooking a beautiful river with bridge and just the hint of some dwellings in the distance. The lush foliage displayed includes an amazing variety of flora.
Everything is grace and music in this pastoral scene. Animals and flowers participate in the joy of life, dancing in a symphony of pastel tones, warm and tender blues, pinks, and oranges. A masterpiece of Loire Workshops.
