The Inspiration
One of eight wool-and-silk tapestries in the Diana series, this panel depicts the goddess Diana stands in the center of the scene with her bow, having just shot an arrow at a satyr. The tapestries were made in the atelier of Jacques Guebels and Jan Raes in Brussels ca. 1600.
The Flowers
Florist’s inspiration: Old meets Modern
A more modern design of all things natural will be designed in a more modern vessel. Floral will interpret the textures and story of the tapestry.
