The word 'verdure' derives from the French word 'vert', meaning green. By the 16th century, tapestries with formal designs derived from foliage had become immensely popular. In the last half of the 17th century, landscapes were incorporated into their design as seen on the present example. In France, the centre for verdure tapestry production was factories such as Aubusson and Lille.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

An exceptional first quarter 16th Century mythological and allegorical TapestrySouth Netherlandish, probably woven between 1510-1520 Woven in rich wools and silks, the figures in typical Medieval dress, some labelled with a curious mix of Roman and Ancient Greek letters, the recurring figure of Aeneas wearing a blue draped cloak and red hat, the Sybil Diephobe (also recurring) wearing a beautiful medieval dress and girdle - an elaborate golden wimple on her head, the whole surrounded by a thin delicate flower-filled border, the main field depicting an intricate and complex rendition of ancient mythological episodes from the story of Aeneas, founder of Rome, first landing at Cumae in the top left corner of the main field and meeting the Sybil of Cumae, Diephobe, daughter of Glaucus, who shows him the temple of Apollo while his attendants search for water and firewood in the surrounding countryside. In the central field Diephobe shows Aeneas the doors of the temple which were crafted by the ancient craftsman Daedalus. The doors themselves show the story of Daedalus' winged escape from Crete on the right hand side and the conception of the infamous minotaur on the left hand side, the sculpture of Apollo, resplendent in golden armour, bears the wings which Daedalus used in his escape from Crete and which he then dedicated in thanks to Apollo when he arrived safely in Cumae. Aeneas is then shown all of the greatness of Rome to come and watches as, in the top right of the main field, a grief-stricken Augustus watches as his hoped-for successor Marcellus Marcus Claudius is buried, his wife Octavia standing by his side. Augustus was known to have wept when Virgil recited Book VI of the Aeneid to him, thus the viewer and Aeneas are one and the same - watching the great Emperor of Rome weep as an old man. Restorations, 340cm high x 490cm wideFootnotes:Provenance:Collection of Baron Gustave de Rothschild (1829-1911).Thence by descent, until soldEtude Couturier Nicolay, Hôtel Drouot, Paris, 4 December 1987, lot 187.'Provenant des Anciennes Collections du Baron Gustave Rothschild de Chateau Beychevelle et appurtenant a divers amateurs,'Precedents/comparatives:Patrons of Trojan Tapestry sets from the 15th and 16th century include: Federico da Montefeltro, Duke of Urbino, Henry VII and VIII of England, King Matthias Corvinus of Hungary, Charles VIII of France, Ferdinand I of Naples and Ludovico il Moro Duke of Milan. So while we do not know exactly who commissioned this tapestry (presumably part of a set) there is sufficient stylistic and iconographic evidence to suggest it was a noble or even Royal patron.Pasquier Grenier in Tournai: The 11 piece tapestry set depicting the story of Troy was given to Charles Bold by the City of Bruges when he married Margaret of York. The Trojan War Tapestries were supplied by Pasquier Grenier of Tournai to Charles the Bold of Burgandy in 1472 and another set to Henry VII of England in 1488. It is possible that a re-surge in enthusiasm for Troy as a subject became popular after the fall of Constantinople in 1453.The designs for these Trojan War tapestries were based more on literary references like Benoit de Sainte Maure's 'Roman de Troie (c.1180) rather than the better known Homer's Iliad or Virgil's Aeneid. Some Northern European Courts who had a set of tapestries showing the story of Troy claimed these had come directly from Aeneas. Some European Royal families even claimed Aeneas as a direct ancestor. This is understandable since Aeneas arguably exemplified not just a link between Troy and Rome but the leap from ancient paganism to imperial civilisation.Trojan War Series (La Guerra de Troya): This series comprised eleven tapestries -today there are four permanently at the Zamora Cathedral. These four were donated by Count Alba de Aliste and they arrived at the Cathedral in 1608. Count Alba was probably given these by the Count of Tendilla (their coat of arms are visible) This does not, however mean that they were the commissioners -their coat of arms were later added to the tapestry. Los Honores: Woven by Pieter van Aelst -they were completed in 1523. Pieter van Aelst however, had to mortgage the set to the Antwerp agents of the Fuggers -a family of merchant princes in Germany. Van Aelst in fact said to his creditors that they should offer the expensive tapestries for sale to Charles V -the person who they had been woven for in the first place. The Fuggers took up this suggestion and the central panel of the set was sent to Charles V as a sample. The Emperor only came to posses all of the tapestries in 1526 when he was in Seville. Sadly, no cartoons for this set survives but over the years a number of designers have been suggested -including Bernaert van Orley. The iconography of this set, much like the present lot present not just full of rich literary allusions but also the iconography of Royal ethics, namely Honour, Nobility and Fame. The tapestry of fame in terms of composition is not dissimilar to the composition of the present lot, with the central 'enshrined' figures surround by an active narrative to the top and bottom left and right (see illustration).Don Carlos tapestry sets: The eldest son of King Philip II of Spain, whose short life has fascinated historians for centuries, is less often remembered for being an avid art collector. His collection of tapestries is well documented and we know that in the mid 16th century he owned six figurative sets of tapestries including ten of the History of Aeneas, six of the History of Hercules, 12 of the Twelve Months, 11 of the History of the gods and nine of Creation and seen of the Battle of Pavia. We know that his father, Philip had bought a large amount of tapestries between 1549 and 1550 when he visited the Netherlands. The most well-known of these, still in the Royal Collection are the Moralides (again see illustration here for similarities with the intricate Brussels border and character labels previously mentioned). It is possible that other mythological pieces may have gone to Don Carlos. His series on the story of Aeneas was purchased at Medina del Campo -which was an important centre for the sale of Flemish tapestries. In England: Interestingly, we know that, like his father, Henry VIII was an enthusiastic art collector. Aeneas seems to have been a popular subject here too and 'Aeneas Relating his Adventures to Dido' woven in Brussels c.1530 formed part of his collection as well as 'Aeneas meeting his Mother Venus'. Five pieces of the Story of Aeneas remained at Whitehall until the late 17th century. The designer for this set is thought to be someone from the circle of Van Orley. Interestingly Mary Queen of Scots had 'one tapestrie of the sailing of Eneas contening aucht peces' at Holyrood House.Hapsburg Patronage:The patronage of the Hapsburgs and the influence of the Spanish Monarchy on artistic production in Northern Europe.After the Netherlands became part of the Spanish Kingdom, places like Oudenaarde and Brussels filled the Spanish court with pieces from their workshops.The Hapsburg/ Spanish monarchy were highly influential when it came to artistic production in the Low countries. The idea of the 'vida noble,' the noble life -was filled with jewels, carpets, relics and manuscripts etc. The two main artistic centres -Flanders and Italy were under Hapsburg control during this period.
