Fragment de "Verdure Audernarde" non bordée

Influenced by the medieval "thousand flower" and the 16th century "aristolochia" or "cabbage leaves", the Greenery tapestries appear in Flanders, Brussels and Audenarde in the earl 17th century.  Greenery tapestries could be compared to landscape-painting, no characters, nor religious or mythological scenes, only nature and occasionally a few animals or builings in the background.
