Maximilian Hunting

The Maximilian Hunting tapestry shows king Maximilian in the woods hunting with his men. In this scene we see the king and his men in the forest with his horses and hounds in the medieval past time of hunting. The hounds are seen eager to hunt for their prey as they bolt forward into the centre of the landscape scene. The nobles are seem on their horses, one with a falcon, conversing. Surrounding the flurry of activity are the forest foliage portrayed in medieval verdure style with the color gradations of the leaves and trunks shown. This tapestry “Maximilian Hunting” is backed with a lining and a tunnel for easy hanging.
