Flanders, late 17th century
Large verdure tapestry with hunting scene

This Flemish Tapestry is a so-called verdure (vert = green) or garden tapestry and dates to the late 17th century. It depicts a dynamic hunting scene with hunters and hounds fighting a boar. The harmonious color scheme primarily includes shades of blue and green – a typical feature of verdure tapestries. The corresponding border with garlands of flowers and baroque medallions and turned columns on the sides is enclosed.



The tapestry is in good condition considering its age. There are some small holes and areas of later weaving here and there. The edges were hemmed, thus slightly reducing the original size of the tapestry. The dimensions of the tapestry are approx. 253 x 355 cm. The outer edge of the border measures approx. 364 x 460 cm.
