78831 Antique French Aubusson Verdure Tapestry, 06'10 x 09'08. Jean-Baptiste Oudry's French Aubusson verdure tapestries from the late 19th century are intricate textile works featuring lush landscapes with detailed depictions of foliage, trees, and sometimes animals. Inspired by Oudry's 18th-century designs, these tapestries were produced much later in the renowned Aubusson workshops, known for their high-quality woven textiles. The verdure tapestries, emphasizing natural scenes, aimed to capture Oudry's meticulous attention to detail and realistic portrayals of nature. Likely commissioned to decorate wealthy patrons' homes, these tapestries reflect the enduring appreciation for Oudry's artistic legacy and the timeless appeal of verdant natural scenes.
This antique French Aubusson tapestry draws inspiration from one of Jean-Baptiste Oudry's paintings, likely commissioned by King Louis XV of France, who had a passion for hunting. The antique Aubusson tapestry showcases a rich earth-tone landscape featuring large trees, vibrant florals, lush foliage, and a prominent water fountain head adorned with a mascaron. At the center of the scene, a hunting dog is depicted lurking, poised to catch a bird hiding among the vegetation at the water fountain's base.
In the background, this enchanting verdure tapestry reveals a castle with a round tower and a nearby village, adding depth and context to the idyllic setting. The intricate details and lifelike representations of nature reflect Oudry's renowned style, capturing the essence of his original works. This antique French tapestry is a testament to the high-quality craftsmanship of the Aubusson workshops, known for their exquisite woven textiles.
Framing the picturesque scene is an acanthus scrollwork border, enhancing the tapestry's elegance and historical charm. The verdant landscape and detailed elements highlight the timeless appeal of Oudry's artistry, making this tapestry a treasured piece that reflects both the artistic legacy of Jean-Baptiste Oudry and the enduring appreciation for verdure tapestries.
