The Flemish villlage

As a relative to the other tapestry The Flemish countryside, The Flemish village is a tapestry typical of the verdure tapestries from the 17th century. These evocative scenes of the Belgian countryside shows the life of villagers in a time and place where the virtues of balance with nature, romanticism and living among natural beauty are admired. This scene features villagers on the river side fishing near a moared boat with the manor further in the background. The luscious style of the foliage is typical of the verdure tapestry from the Oudernaarde region. This tapestry is backed with lining and tunnel for easy hanging.
