Flanders Canal tapestry

The Flanders Canal tapestry shows a picturesque scene of a canal in Belgium. Along its length we see a row of trees, beautifully rendered in this very elegant country scene. The windmill in the distance creates depth with the dark ominous clouds indicating the onset of stormy weather. The whole scene is reflected in the rippling canal, adding a charming resonance to the work.

The calm natural colours of the trees along the banks of the canal come alive with the weave, typical of landscape tapestries. This compliments the simplicity of the image itself, an elegant country scene, but adds great depth and warmth. This Belgian tapestry is lined and has a tunnel for ease of wall-hanging.
