Birds and Windmill

Birds and Windmill shows a scene of a flock of storks amongst red flowers, the countryside and a windmill. This verdure style tapestry is characteristic of the verdures found since the 17th century in France and Europe. The use of color and composition is exceptional and places the contrasting red flowers in the foreground in proximity to the red feathers of the storks. The verdure style is seen in the tree trunk and foliage, with a stylised approach to the rendition of color and texture. The gradations and contrasts of browns and golds, and in the greens and yellows, shows off the beauty of the wooden trunk and branches, and the foliage of the tree and forest plants, respectively. The eye is taken up to the hill where a countryside windmill is seen. A gorgeous ornate border finishes off this work. This Birds and Windmill tapestry is lined and has a tunnel for easy hanging.
