Pastoral and galant scene - Felletin Aubusson Manufacture Tapestry circa 1890 signed F. Bernardet

This textile masterpiece, signed by F. Bernardet and originating from the Felletin-Aubusson workshop, dates back to 1890. Its generous dimensions (2.80 m x 1.55 m) and artistic style reminiscent of contemporary paintings make it stand out.

The tapestry depicts a pastoral and romantic scene, typical of the decorative and bucolic themes popular in the 19th century. It features three figures in period costumes, likely from the 18th century, set within a lush green landscape.

Characters: In the foreground, two figures are visible. A man wearing a hat appears to be addressing a woman in an elegant, light-colored dress. A third female figure is in the background near a fountain. Their poses and interactions suggest a leisurely moment or a courtly scene.

Setting: The landscape is dominated by a large fountain decorated with sculptures and surrounded by lush vegetation. In the background, a village or a chateau is visible, framed by trees and hills. The entire scene exudes a peaceful and romantic atmosphere.

Colors and Materials: The colors are primarily shades of beige, brown, green, and pale blue, creating a gradient effect that mimics the play of light and shadow found in paintings. The weaving, made of wool and silk, is exceptionally fine, allowing for the precise reproduction of details and nuances.
