Description
TAPESTRIES Aubusson, attributed to the Rougeron workshop, second quarter of the 18th century. Green tapestry "with pagoda and quiver" in wool and silk, decorated with a Chinese temple in a vast landscape animated by birds and decorated with a hanging from a tree. The cardboard of this tapestry, which takes again the Chinese temple of Sinkicien published in 1721 by JB von Erlach in "Entwurff einer historichen Architectur", is the work of Jean-Joseph Dumons (1687-1779), "Painter with the service of the King", appointed to the Manufacture in 1731. Between 1732 and 1753, Dumons designed twenty hangings for the Aubusson factory and only two for the Felletin factory. The first hanging he delivered, a green with animals woven by Pierre Mage's workshop, was a huge success. According to Laboreys de Châteaufavier, Inspector of the Manufactures, Dumons would have been advised by Oudry for this realization. Among his works, we note Les Grands Rideaux, a six-piece tapestry in which a curtain opens onto the main scene, and a variant of Boucher's Chinese tapestry executed in Beauvais, made at the request of the Aubusson merchant-manufacturer Jean-François Picon. Most of these tapestries belong today to private collections or are dispersed in public collections throughout the world. 250 x 500 cm approximately The Hotel Dieu of Beaune exhibits under the number 87GHD1274 a version of this hanging.
