Wandtapijt afkomstig van La Chaise-Dieu before 1857

This photograph, taken by Hippolyte Malègue before 1857, captures a tapestry from La Chaise-Dieu. The image showcases the intricate details of the tapestry, depicting a scene possibly from a biblical or historical narrative. The composition is dense, with figures arranged in a layered manner, offering viewers a glimpse into a rich tapestry of human interactions and expressions. The photograph, a testament to Malègue's photographic skill, allows us to appreciate the tapestry's craftsmanship and the artistic traditions of its time. La Chaise-Dieu, known for its abbey, likely houses other historical tapestries of similar craftsmanship.
