Exotic greenery of Villa d'Esté- Tapestry of Flanders, Lille 18th century period

Beautiful tapestry of exotic greenery, with a cockfight, castle and fountain in an elegant green setting.

We can appreciate the Italian architecture in this tapestry, La Villa d'Este, located in the city of Tivoli, near Rome, is a masterpiece of Italian architecture and garden design. Through its innovative design and the ingenuity of the architectural works in its garden (fountains, ponds, etc.), it is an incomparable example of a 16th century Italian garden. Villa d'Este, one of the first "giardini delle meraviglie" (garden of wonders), was used very early as a model for garden development in Europe and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2002.

This beautiful exotic tapestry is finely woven in wool and silk in the 18th century and has kept its beautiful colours.
