Monarch of the Glen

Monarch of the Glen tapestry shows a majestic deer, the work of Sir Edwin Landseer. An English painter, Landseer (1802-1873) was well known for his paintings of animals especially stags, horses and dogs. Born in London, he exhibited in many galleries and his works are well loved to this day. Here in this work from 1851, we see a glorious stag on a mountainside, with a glorious background that is misty and cloudy atmosphere which shows off the rocky mountains beautifully. A gentle golden light illuminates the stag and even the grasses are beautifully rendered. Monarch of the Glen tapestry is unlined and has a tunnel for easy hanging.
