Canal in Flanders Mill

Canals were an important part of commerce in Europe for centuries. Barges would ply their calm waters transporting their goods from one town to another. They were an important part of the trade route through Europe. This tapestry captures one of these trade routes in its pristine beauty. A tall stand of trees is mirrored in the canal in amazing detail. The water is rippling ever so slightly in a breeze. In the distance, a windmill spins in silence, milling flour for the nearby village. Inspired by history, “Canal in Flanders Mill” is reproduced in typical Flemish landscape style. This tapestry is lined and has a tunnel for easy hanging.
