Village Garden Classique

This tapestry hails from a design originating from the Gobelins manufacture of tapestries in a private collection. The design features the details typical of the famous Verdure scenes from the Oudenaarde region of East Flanders. The foliage and garden featuring the water feature suggests the attention the Belgian people pay to the harmony between man and nature, almost evoking ann era where idealism and an awe of nature was still of high priority in the minds of aristocracy living in these European countries. Romance and oneness with nature are both suggested by this verdure scene. This tapestry is backed with lining and tunnel for easy hanging.
