The gorgeous and opulent tapestries known as the Beauvais tapestries were woven at the Beauvais manufactory in the 17th and 18th centuries. Often considered the second most important tapestry manufactory in France after the Gobelin tapestry manufactory, the Beauvais tapestries were made for nobility and the wealthy bourgeoisie.
Origins: The Beauvais Tapestry Manufactory was founded in 1664 by Jean-Baptiste Colbert, the Minister of Finances under King Louis XIV of France. It was established to compete with the prestigious Gobelins Tapestry Manufactory in Paris.
Design Style: Beauvais Tapestries often display scenes from mythology, history, pastoral landscapes, and intricate floral motifs. They are known for their delicate and detailed designs, which are influenced by the prevailing artistic styles of their time, such as Rococo and Neoclassicism.
Weaving Technique: Beauvais Tapestries are woven using the “low-warp” or “basse-lisse” technique. This technique involves stretching the warp vertically and weaving the weft horizontally, resulting in a flatter and less textured surface compared to other tapestry techniques.
Collaboration with Artists: The Beauvais Tapestry Manufactory collaborated with renowned artists and designers of the time to create their tapestry designs. Notable artists associated with Beauvais include François Boucher, Jean-Baptiste Oudry, and Jean-Baptiste Huet.
Vibrant Colors: Beauvais Tapestries are known for their vibrant and rich color palettes. They often feature a wide range of colors, including soft pastels and bold hues, which contribute to the visual appeal and overall impact of the tapestries.
