This tapestry depicts a peaceful forest scene and is called a "Verdure" tapestry because it showcases lush foliage. These types of tapestries were highly valued for their beauty in the 17th century. They often portrayed serene country life in nature. The perspective is created by a lighter center subject surrounded by darker foliage , bird and flowers bring liveliness and focus point .
During the 17th and 18th centuries, "Verdure" tapestries were popular, featuring forested landscapes, reflecting people's interest in botanical themes at that time. Another style, called "Aristolochia" or "large leaves," emerged during the Renaissance, depicting animals and birds surrounded by abundant foliage. The border has a darker side to simulate volume and shadow to create more depth .
This particular tapestry is a late 17 th. or early 18th-century , hand weaved with an artisanal feel from the wool ( large point ) .
The size of this tapestry is H.103 x W.88 in, side note : it was to big for my wall so the bottom is on the floor, it is in good condition with a hook on the back for easy hanging and linen backing , there are some separation but nothing missing .
