"The Harvest" (1712-1728) by Urbanus Leyniers is a large tapestry depicting a bustling scene of farmers harvesting hay. The vibrant colors and detailed figures showcase the artist's mastery of depicting the rural life of 18th-century Europe. The tapestry's large scale (9ft. 2 1/4 in. × 9 ft. 6 in.) and elaborate frame contribute to its grandeur and impact, emphasizing the importance of agriculture during this time. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City houses this stunning example of Flemish tapestry art, capturing the energy and beauty of the harvest season.
