Retour de Chasse Tapestry A lord, accompanied by his beaters, is returning to his property seen in the distance. Late 16th century. The Renaissance radically changed the art of tapestry and imposed a new aesthetic, by associating tapestry and painting. The tapestry holds all that characterizes Renaissance art: composition, decor, perspective, light and borders of fruits, flowers and birds. The richness and elegance of the costumes in this Renaissance masterpiece contrasts with the austerity of medieval tapestries. This tapestry is imported from France. French tapestries are well known for their sophistication, vibrant colors and design. (*Rods and Tassels are not included in the quoted price)
