"The Final Assault on the Boar, or December" from the "Hunts of Maximilian" is a tapestry by Bernard van Orley, created between 1526 and 1693. This monumental piece, measuring over 169 inches in height, depicts the final moments of a boar hunt in a detailed and dramatic fashion. The tapestry's design is attributed to van Orley while the weaving was likely carried out later in Brussels. The work is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York.
