Amaryllis

Amaryllis tapestry shows an exotic landscape scene based on Joseph Fuchs’ Eden from 1861. Based on this famous wallpaper by Fuchs (1814-1888), this French artist produced the famous wallpaper scene called El Dorado which took 2 years to design. Here we see a scene of the tall palm tree with vines and Amaryllis flowers. The entire work is a paradise of exotic landscape and blooms, with a lake and distant mountains peaks, and reflected the French fascination with Oriental and exotic landscapes as voyagers discovered distant lands and artists portrayed them for all to be able to envision and enjoy. This French tapestry “Amaryllis” is backed with a lining and has a tunnel for easy hanging.
