EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning tapestry titled "Archery, from Amusements Champetres (Country Sports)" created between 1770-90 by Jacques Nicolas Julliard. The artwork, measuring an impressive 247.7x276.9 cm, is currently housed at The Art Institute of Chicago in Illinois, USA. Woven with meticulous craftsmanship at an unknown workshop within the Manufacture Royale d'Aubusson, this piece exemplifies the beauty and intricacy of slit and double interlocking tapestry weave technique. It was generously gifted to the museum by Honore Palmer. The scene depicted in this neoclassical masterpiece transports us to a serene countryside setting where men engage in archery as a pastime activity. With their bows drawn and arrows poised for release, these skilled archers demonstrate their precision and focus during target practice. The composition also features other elements such as skipping ropes and quivers filled with arrows that add depth to the narrative. The artist's attention to detail captures not only the physicality but also the spirit of sportsmanship inherent in country sports. Through this remarkable work of art, we are reminded of the timeless appeal of archery as a sport that has captivated individuals throughout history. Its enduring popularity continues to inspire both athletes and artists alike while serving as a testament to human skill and determination.
