About this piece
Flemish verdure tapestry woven in wools and silks, depicting a densely foliated woodland landscape with two robed figures — one apparently mounted or attended — set within a luxuriant ground of large-leafed foliage, flowering plants, and towering trees in the cool blue-green palette associated with Southern Netherlandish workshops. The scene is populated with exotic birds, including a prominent heron or egret to the right, with deer visible in the middle distance.
Enclosed within a border of flowering and fruiting vegetation on a dark ground, the composition includes architectural cartouche elements to the upper register and foliate scrollwork to the lower. The lateral borders present blue-ground panels of flowering stems and exotic fruit.
The combination of mille-fleurs-derived woodland setting, large architectural foliage, and a blue-dominant palette is closely associated with the productive workshops of Oudenaarde and neighbouring Southern Netherlandish centres, which supplied verdure tapestries of this type to European courts and noble households in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. The central figural group, rendered in warmer tones of rose, cream, and ochre against the cool woodland ground, provides a narrative focus characteristic of the more ambitious productions of the period.
