EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite tapestry titled "Venus aux forges de Vulcain" from the renowned Les Tentures de Francois Boucher series. The original painting by Francois Boucher, a prominent French artist of the 18th century, served as inspiration for this remarkable work. Created between 1775 and 1778 at the esteemed Gobelins Manufactory in France, this tapestry is a true masterpiece. The scene depicted in this artwork transports us to ancient mythology, where Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, visits Vulcan's forge. The intricate details woven into every thread bring life to this enchanting moment. Wool and silk intertwine flawlessly to create a rich texture that enhances the depth and vibrancy of each color. Collaborative efforts by talented designers such as Maurice Jacques, Louis Tessier, and Jacques Neilson contributed to capturing Boucher's vision with precision. Their collective expertise shines through in every aspect of this tapestry. Measuring an impressive 381 x 487.7 cm (12 ft. 6 in x 16 ft. ), this monumental piece demands attention with its grandeur and artistic finesse. It serves as a testament to both historical craftsmanship and enduring beauty. As we gaze upon this print from Liszt Collection, we are reminded of the timeless allure found within art itself—a visual representation that transcends time and culture while evoking emotions that resonate deeply within our souls.
