EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Elephant" from The Berain Grotesques Series, a remarkable piece of art created in France between 1688 and 1732. Woven at the prestigious Manufacture Royale de Beauvais under the guidance of talented artists such as the Behagle family, the Filleul brothers, or Noel-Antoine Merou, this exquisite tapestry reflects the opulent Baroque era. Designed by Jean Baptiste Monnoyer in homage to Jean I Berain's style, this artwork is an epitome of intricate craftsmanship. The border design by Jean I Berain adds an extra layer of elegance and sophistication to this masterpiece. In this image, we are transported back in time to witness a vibrant scene filled with rich colors and elaborate details. A majestic elephant takes center stage amidst a floral paradise adorned with various species of birds and feline creatures. The tapestry's decorative elements include grapevines laden with luscious grapes and blooming flowers that add splashes of color throughout. Displayed within an art gallery or institute like the Art Institute Chicago, it serves as a testament to both French heritage artistry and interior decoration during this period. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance. "The Elephant" from The Berain Grotesques Series is truly a treasure that encapsulates the beauty and creativity of 17th-18th century France.
