The rhinoceros hunt Flemish tapestry, Oudenaarde. Late 16th, early 17th century. Woven in wool and silk H. 3.24 x L. 3.08 m This tapestry is interesting for its rare hunting theme, illustrating a rhinoceros. He is in the foreground in a peaceful, wooded landscape with lake, fountain, garden and architecture, interspersed with scenes of couples, isolated figures, gondolas, exotic, fantastical and forest animals. The border is decorated with bouquets of flowers, fruit and leaves, architecture framing animals and allegorical figures, including faith, hope and fortitude, with Latin inscriptions. It retains its beautiful bright colors and original border. It is in good overall condition, with some wear and old restorations. It is reduced in height and probably in width. The tapestry features a representation of a rhinoceros, a very rare animal at the time. Indeed, in the 16th century, only two rhinoceroses were known to exist in Europe. The first, named Gomda, was a gift from the Indian king Muzaffar II of Cambaye as a gift to King Manuel I of Portugal in Lisbon, where it landed on May 20, 1515 (the second came a little later, around 1577, also to Portugal for the king, and was named Ibada). The latter inspired Dürer to produce his woodcut Rhinocervs in 1515, which, despite anatomical inaccuracies, was considered a realistic representation of a rhinoceros until the end of the 16th century. Our tapestry seems to be directly influenced by this engraving by Dürer: the small narwhal tooth (horn) in the middle of the back is not real at all, and is borrowed directly from Dürer. What's more, the broad lines of the silhouette and the folds of thick skin joined by supple hide confirm that this is a figure inspired by Dürer's Indian rhinoceros and not the African model.

Surroundings tapestry decorated with a country love scene. Manufacture Royale d'Aubusson. In the taste of Jean-Baptiste HUET (1745-1811). 18th century - circa 1770-1780. Woven in wool and silk. H. 2.47 x L.1.40 m In Alentours tapestries, a central scene is set against a plain or damask-like background, usually decorated with garlands of flowers, medallions and attributes. The tapestry has preserved its beautiful colors and is borderless, which may be its origin, as this was the period when borderless tapestries began to be woven for insertion in woodwork frames. This alentour tapestry features a medallion motif held in place by a ribbon at the top, depicting a country love scene with two figures, a restless dog and an overturned jug. The medallion is edged with oak leaves, and the surround is decorated with garlands of garlanded flowers and a basket with a hanging bouquet of flowers. It is in good overall condition, with some areas of wear, notably in the silks, and old restorations.
