Piece 1735 - 1740

This silk tapestry, created by Jean Revel between 1735 and 1740, features a vibrant floral design with intricate details. The dark blue background provides a dramatic backdrop for the white, pink, and green flowers, creating a striking contrast. The tapestry’s symmetrical composition and repeating motifs are characteristic of the Rococo style, which was popular during the 18th century. Now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, “Piece” exemplifies the artistry and craftsmanship of French weavers in the Rococo period.
