Verdure tapestry

 

Verdure tapestry, also known as "verdure tapestries," refers to a style of tapestry that features lush and vibrant depictions of landscapes, foliage, and vegetation. The term "verdure" comes from the French word for "green," and these tapestries are characterized by their focus on natural scenes and the depiction of various plant life.

Verdure tapestries became popular during the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance, particularly in the 16th and 17th centuries. They often showcase intricate details of forests, meadows, gardens, and other natural settings. While some verdure tapestries are purely decorative, others incorporate elements of allegory, symbolism, and narrative.
