EDITORS COMMENTS
Le Clerc, Jouxbarbe (Jean-Baptiste Jouvenet), Ambush (1696). This stunning tapestry, titled "Ambush," is a masterpiece of Baroque art, created by the renowned French artist Jean-Baptiste Jouvenet in 1696. The tapestry is currently housed at the New Schleissheim Palace in Munich, Germany. The scene depicted in the tapestry is set in Europe during daytime, with the warm sunlight filtering through the trees and casting a golden glow over the forest floor. The exterior setting is adorned with vibrant colors, creating a lively and dynamic atmosphere. At the center of the tapestry, a group of European men, dressed in masculine attire, are engaged in an ambush. The men are poised, ready to pounce on their unsuspecting prey. The intricate details of their clothing, weapons, and facial expressions are expertly rendered, showcasing Jouvenet's exceptional skill as a tapestry maker. The tapestry is a testament to the decorative arts of the early modern era, with its intricate textures and rich colors. The use of textiles as a medium for artistic expression was a popular trend during the Baroque period, and this tapestry is a prime example of the art form's ability to convey movement, emotion, and storytelling. The tapestry's horizontal composition, combined with its intricate details and vibrant colors, makes it a captivating work of art that continues to captivate viewers to this day. Whether admired in person at the New Schleissheim Palace or through a reproduction, "Le Clerc, Jouxbarbe's Ambush" is a true masterpiece of Baroque art and textile making.
