About the Item

72967 Vintage French Tapestry Inspired by The Minuet Carnival Scene, 05'07 x 07'01. "D'Art De Rambovillet. Ateliers: De Reprodvction D'Oevvrgs D'Art" indicates that the artwork is connected to the Atelier de reproduction Rambouillet in Paris, which specializes in creating reproductions of original artworks. This establishment is known for its meticulous craftsmanship in replicating the style and essence of historic and significant art pieces, reflecting the artistic heritage of Rambouillet, a location near Paris. In the creation of this piece, two key figures are highlighted: A. Derneiy, referred to as the "Maistre d'oevre," who is the master artist or craftsman overseeing the work, and G. Boitard, the "Maistre Graveur," responsible for any engraving involved. Their roles signify the dedication to detail and authenticity in the reproduction process, ensuring that each piece not only mirrors the original but also maintains a unique artistic integrity. This vintage Venetian tapestry, encapsulating the essence of the Rococo period, draws its inspiration from a painting titled "The Minuet," also known as "Carnival Scene" by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, dating back to around 1754-1755. The original artwork by Tiepolo, a renowned Italian painter and printmaker, vividly portrays a masquerade party, capturing the elegance and spirited atmosphere of the time. The tapestry depicts men and women in masks engaging in the dance of the minuet, a symbol of 18th-century European nobility. Set against the backdrop of Venice, Italy, during its most festive season, the Carnevale, this tapestry brings to life the city's vibrant and colorful festivities. The scene is a lively portrayal of the period's fashion and social customs, showcasing the intricate costumes and playful interactions among the masked figures. This rich visual narrative not only highlights the historical and cultural significance of Venice but also reflects the artist's skill in capturing the joyous and whimsical spirit of the carnival. The tapestry is framed by a meticulously designed border featuring alternating scallop shells and acanthus scrolls, elements that further emphasize its Rococo influences. This attention to detail and commitment to traditional craftsmanship imbues the Minuet Carnival Scene tapestry with a timeless charm. Ideal for enhancing any opulent period interior, this piece radiates both color and vitality, making it a captivating addition to spaces that celebrate historical elegance and artistic whimsy. Rendered in a kaleidoscope of colors and variegated shades of tan, ecru, sand, beige, sky blue, pistachio, avocado, olive, cerulean, red, slate, plum, purple, saffron, terra cotta, brown, coffee, sage, gray, charcoal, and ink blue. The backside is lined in pale sky blue fabric with a signature and tag from Rambouillet, Paris. The label on the back reads: D'Art De Rambovillet. Ateliers: De Reprodvction D'Oevvrgs D'Art. Signatures of the makers (Maistre d'oevre: A. Derneiy and Maistre Graveur: G. Boitard). Made by Atelier de reproduction Rambouillet in Paris. Abrash. Hand-painted canvas. Made in France.
