IMPORTANT AND VERY FINE TAPESTRY (BRUSSELS)... - Lot 169 - Osenat
IMPORTANT AND VERY FINE TAPESTRY (BRUSSELS) BEGINNING OF THE XVIIIEME, CARDBOARD AFTER DAVID TENIERS II, KNOWN AS THE YOUNG ONE (1610 - 1690). The Harvest Festival Technical characteristics: wool and silk. We see a barn, and villagers sitting around singing and getting drunk. They welcome a cart full of wheat sheaves heading towards the barn where another group is unloading the bundles. Beautiful border forming a frame with double compositions of flowering sheaves and musical instruments in symmetry. Four spandrels of acanthus leaves are represented. 342 x 430 cm wide Remarkable freshness of colors. Very good state of conservation. The tapestry is reproduced in Heinrich Göbel, Wandteppiche, teil I, Band II, n°315, Verlag von Klinkhardt et Biermann, Leipzig, 1923. A tapestry after Teniers, woven by the Judocus de Vos (or Josse de Vos) workshop before 1735, with the same borders is preserved in the castle of Beloeil in the collections of the Prince de Ligne. A similar border can also be found on a tapestry belonging to the prestigious former Boccara collection depicting Le Quai aux poissons and woven in the workshops of François van der Borcht (1720-1765). One can locate the appearance of the "Ténières" towards the third of the third of the XVIIth century. Various Brussels workshops took over and adapted the cartoons of Teniers like Jacques Van der Borcht and Jérôme Le Clerc. Let us quote for example this tapestry preserved in private hands resulting from the workshops of Pierre and François van der Borcht which takes again this topic of the Festival of the Harvest, but of a different composition.
