Manoir Borde

Here in this verdure tapestry, we see a lovely countryside scene so reminiscent of the compositions used in the tapestries created in the 18th century in Belgium. In 'Manoir Borde' we see a forest scene opening onto a cottage home beside a flowing river. Remote scenes with a countryside subject matter was one of the most popular subject matter for verdures as art tapestries were used to bring the beauty of nature inside. Fanciful foliage, flowers and trees are used in the foreground to capture the eye and to lead it to the more distant hills which may or may not include houses. This tapestry is lined and has a tunnel for easy hanging.
