Very original panel of fine tapestry from Brussels (détourée) Flanders End of XVIIth and beginning of XVIIIth century Technical characteristics : Silk and wool. Good general condition. Restorations of maintenance Dimensions : Height : 195cm ; Width : 215cm A rarely evoked subject is presented to us on this tapestry, indeed we see a curious team of four horses wearing blinkers, individual feeders and having especially the hooves felted (to avoid seeing and making noise?) pulling the chariot of Death, which we see on the right, armed with his scythe and curiously accompanied by Cupid. The whole is led by the fallen angel Lucifer, represented as a hairy, winged, bipedal beast armed with a pike. A madman (?), on the left, seems to be watching this frightening crew go by. The landscape is wooded and bucolic, we distinguish some houses on the horizon. Border with braid. Perhaps to be compared with the series dedicated to Don Quixote
