Marc WAYMEL - Le Médaillier Franklin - Tapestry (1) - Wool
The tapestry with “La Chasse Royale” is a contemporary masterpiece, created in the tradition of the master weavers of the Renaissance. It reproduces the splendour and romanticism of royal hunting through fields and forests, which was one of the favourite pastimes of the nobles in the 16th century. With its subtle mix of colours, its high-profile figures dressed in elaborate medieval fashion, its noble steeds, its dogs ready for the hunt and the slender turrets of the castle in the background, the Royal Hunt Tapestry is an original work of art, directly inspired by the tapestries of the Renaissance.
