Le Point d'eau (Left)
This tapestry depicts a horse at a watering hole, set against a fantasy landscape, with detail including wildlife and fauna. The originals were inspired by paintings by Albert Eckhout (1610 - 1665), a Dutch painter who detailed the plants, animals and natives of the Dutch colonies on an expedition to South America between 1637 and 1644 at the bequest of Prince Johan Maurits, the then Governor of Brazil. These paintings were used by artists at the Gobelins manufactory in France to produce a series of 8 tapestries known as Les anciennes Indes (The ancient Indies). In order to increase the exoticism and drama of the works artists at Gobelins introduced other animals and flora and set them against fantasy landscapes. The popularity of these tapestries, and the style they embodied, became increasingly popular throughout the 18th century. Many of the works from this series can be found at the Getty Museum, Los Angeles. This tapestry is lined and has a tunnel for ease of hanging.
