Tapestry Wedding Scene

Tapestry Wedding scene. Unknown author. Presumably mid-17th century. The word tapestry appeared in France in the 17th century, based on the products manufactured by the Gobelin brothers′ manufactory. It was the masters of Flanders who began to produce tapestries based on the paintings of great artists. With a modest six-color palette, local weavers achieved amazing, artistic results with special etching and shading techniques.
