EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite tapestry titled "Venus and Adonis (?) with the Duck Hunt" believed to have been woven in Flanders around 1600. Presumably crafted at the renowned workshop of Jacques I Geubels or his widow Catharina van den Eynde, this piece is a testament to their exceptional artistry. The tapestry depicts a scene filled with vibrant colors and intricate details. In the foreground, we see Adonis, adorned in armor and holding a hunting dog on a leash, gesturing towards Venus. The goddess of love stands elegantly amidst lush flowers and fruits, her presence commanding attention. The central focus of this masterpiece is the exhilarating duck hunt taking place. Huntsmen are seen skillfully aiming their bows while hunting dogs eagerly await their command. Ducks gracefully fly through the air as they attempt to evade capture. Every element within this artwork speaks volumes about Flemish heritage art and its rich tradition of weaving stunning tapestries. The garlands adorning the scene add an enchanting touch to the overall composition. Displayed within an art gallery or institute such as Chicago's Art Institute, this remarkable piece would undoubtedly captivate viewers with its beauty and historical significance. It serves as a reminder of both Jacques Geubels' mastery as well as Catharina van den Eynde's talent in continuing his legacy after his passing. This print allows us to appreciate every detail of this extraordinary work from centuries past, preserving it for future generations to admire and cherish.
