One from the series of tapestries depicting the Hunts of the Emperor Maximilian, which were woven for King Louis XIV of France (1638-1715). This series of tapestries were designed by the artist Bernard van Orley and originally woven around 1690 at the Royal Gobelins Manufactory in Paris. The theme commemorates the Royal hunt throughout the twelve months of the year, and the setting is the Soignes Forest in Belgium, on the south bank of the Clabotsvijer River near Brussels. The decorative scalloped border with corner medallions is typical of the Renaissance style. The original tapestry was woven around 1670-1690 at the Royal Gobelins Manufactory in Paris.
This beautiful tapestry is Silkscreened (also known as serigraphed) onto an irregularly woven fabric made from wool, cotton or linen. Considerable labour is required with this process including hand-painting to finish the details. Silk screen tapestries appear antiqued and aged giving them the look and feel of tapestries that hang in museums today. This tapestry is fully lined incorporating a sleeve along the top for hanging with a Hines hanging rod. Alternatively, this tapestry can be hung with a wooden batten which is a concealed method of hanging.
Composition: 87% cotton, 13% viscose
Finish on reverse: This tapestry is fully backed with luxury cotton lining incorporating a sleeve along the top for hanging purposes.
