Spring from a set of The Seasons 1700 - 1715

"Spring" is part of a set of tapestries depicting the four seasons by French artist John Chabanex. The tapestry depicts a pastoral scene, with a group of figures tending to sheep and a dog running through the grassy clearing. The tapestry is notable for its detailed depiction of nature, as well as its use of vibrant colors. The tapestry is a fine example of the Rococo style, which was popular in France during the 18th century. Chabanex's work is considered to be a significant contribution to the tapestry tradition. "Spring" was woven in France in the early 18th century, and today it is part of the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
