Emperor Maximilian Hawking – Left

The Emperor Maximilian Hawking – Left tapestry shows the king’s men with his hounds and men hunting in the woods. Here we see a member of royalty on his horse with elaborate attire for both him and his horse, with a falcon on his hand, in the past time of falconry and hunting. In the middle ages, these were popular activity for royalty as they enjoy the outdoors and the forests in their surrounding countryside. The lush foliage is seen in deep greens to complement the browns of the trees beautifully, and contrasts with the reds of the royal attire. This tapestry “Emperor Maximilian Hawking – Left” is backed with a lining and a tunnel for easy hanging.
