Rambouillet
Aubusson tapestry woven by the Pinton workshop.
With its ribbon signed by the artist, no. 1/6.
Circa 1970.
Perrot began his work as a tapestry designer after the war, creating nearly 500 designs, with numerous commissions from the State, most of them woven in Aubusson. His eminently decorative and shimmering style is very characteristic: a profusion of butterflies or birds, most often, stands out against a vegetal background, in the style of mille-fleurs tapestries (which also inspired Dom Robert).
René Perrot is primarily an animal artist, who usually stylizes his subjects. His decorative style is counterbalanced here by the extremely realistic treatment of the stag, unusual in post-war tapestry. The title of the tapestry refers to the great French hunts that he illustrated extensively, for example in "Sologne," on loan to the Musée de la Chasse in Gien from the Mobilier National.
