Description
Today, some tapestries to show you. All photos, sometimes from several years ago.
Both tapestries before that one where from Aubusson. This one too. Because there are always people doing the craftmanship.
This one is from the 2010's years. Since the XIXth century, colors are now made from chemical pigments, no longer natural ones.
And also nowadays, there is not just wool (and sometimes silk) but many other materials can be used, natural or not. For example, mercerized cotton on that one. Unfortunately, I took the photo when it wasn't in its best place in the museum, so the shiny colors are more difficult to see.
Who are the 2 people? The 2 Argentinian men who proposed the project. They are with their Guarani tattoos.
The greenery reminds from those which made the celebrity from Aubusson in passed centuries.
And of course, still from XXIth century, I have shown you recently something else

Reminds of the Douanier rousseau
Very colourful and detailed! Interesting background into the making as well
nice jungle scene in tapestry..
I really like it, great photo! 👍🙋♂️
this should be seen full size (I hope people zoom). A really complex design, and I love the two men---they look ancient in their costumes and face paint/tattoos. A big jungle of a tapestry...and packed with lots of nature, animals, symbols, etc. This museum has some very fine tapestries. Very impressive.
A superb and interesting capture of this tapestry from Aubusson . I enjoyed reading your presentation of it too !
