EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases one of a pair of exquisite Louis XVI pastoral tapestries from Aubusson, dating back to around 1775. The tapestry, measuring an impressive 280x148 cm, is a true masterpiece that combines silk and wool in its intricate design. Displayed in a private collection, this particular piece may have been created by Leonard Roby after the renowned Karel van Falens. The image transports us to a bygone era as we witness an ornate landscape filled with equestrian elegance and falconers engaged in their sport. A sportsman and sportswoman are mounted on majestic horses, skillfully navigating the terrain while showcasing their prowess in horseback riding. The falconer's presence adds another layer of fascination to the scene as they demonstrate the art of hawking with their trained birds of prey. Every detail within this decorative tapestry speaks volumes about the opulence and refinement associated with Louis XVI's reign. From the ornamental motifs adorning every corner to the delicate depiction of nature's beauty, it is clear why these textiles were highly prized during this period. Through this photograph, Bridgeman Images has captured not only the visual splendor but also the historical significance embedded within this artwork. It serves as a reminder of our rich artistic heritage and invites us to appreciate both its aesthetic appeal and cultural value for generations to come.
