This tapestry Automne we see a scene of the countryside with the gorgeous colors of the autumn trees leading the eye down the cobbletone path.
Verdure scenes focus on natural elements, trees and forests, sometimes with other features from the countryside such as rivers.

The tapestry above Garden of Delight shows a scene of exotic plants by Joseph Fuchs from a wallpaper panoramic from 1861. This tapestry shows the new plants introduced into Europe from exotic lands, the palm tree as well as a variety of exotic flora in a fantasy landscape which is atmospheric.
We can see a diffusely lit background of mountain behind.
The imagination is stirred with such a tapestry as this, and when provided as a backdrop, can transport one to another place.
This landscape is an example of the influence of exploration on art, and of the combination of botanical study and work of pure art.
