About the Item

- Butterflies and Foliage (Papillons et Feuillage) by Jean Lurçat - 135 x 180 cm - Aubusson tapestry woven at the Braquenié workshop. Jean Lurçat’s “Papillons et Feuillages” tapestry is a work of great beauty and remarkable artistic richness. Produced in the 1950s, this tapestry offers a spellbinding composition in which butterflies and foliage intertwine in a delicate, poetic dance. Butterflies, symbols of lightness and transformation, are depicted with extraordinary finesse, highlighting their delicate motifs and shimmering colors. The foliage, meanwhile, adds a touch of organic life to the whole, creating a harmonious balance between nature and the aerial grace of butterflies. The skillful use of vivid colors and rich textures lends the “Butterflies and Foliage” tapestry a captivating visual depth. The subtle nuances of the yarns used and the meticulous details reveal Lurçat’s technical mastery of weaving, testifying to his exceptional talent as a textile artist.
