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.
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, featuring a lighter central point surrounded by abundant and darker foliage.
