Description

AUBUSSON, late 18th century Tapestry panel from the Aubusson workshop Probably originally intended for the back of a living room sofa In silk and wool Beautiful polychromy The colours retain their freshness. Foliage with stags A stag-hunting scene. A major decorative and emblematic theme. L_177 cm W_77 cm (Conservation work carried out; shows signs of wear and tears) This is an aristocratic symbol, representing power, prestige and mastery over nature (under Louis XIV, it was a court ritual), with the stag symbolising the soul, purity or the spiritual quest. In the Christian tradition, it is associated with figures such as St Hubert. The depiction on this panel is more of a decorative and aristocratic vision; the scene, devoid of hunters, is softened, resulting in an elegant interpretation of ‘The Hunt’. The scene is framed by a rich border adorned with foliage and garlands of flowers, polychrome foliage and stylised rocaille elements. Expert: Franck Kassapian - Expert: Frank KASSAPIAN
