A LOUIS XIV CHANCELLERIE TAPESTRY FRAGMENT | GOBELINS, BY JEAN LE FEBVRE FILS, LATE 17TH/EARLY 18TH CENTURY, AFTER A DESIGN BY GUY-LOUIS VERNANSAL, PAVILLION AND CLAUDE III AUDRAN | Textiles & Costume, Tapestry | Christie's

Intruder - These tapestries from France were adapted from two wonderful paintings by J.H. Fragonard (1732-1806), Indiscretion & The Swing. They were commissioned by a libertine member of the French court. These gallant country compositions are witty, charming, and full of vitality, a typical tone of this time, yet these scenes are unusual for their time due to their flirtatious nature.

Diana was the Roman goddess of the hunt, unspoiled nature, and the boundaries separating wild from civilized, living from dead. Master of the bow, she roamed the wilderness seeking adventure and hunting game.

Late 16th century tapestry, depicting the story of Gideon. With a wide floral boarder with four further scenes of buildings.
