1667 Founded Gobelins Manufactory Manufacture Tapestry


EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the breathtaking beauty of the Gobelins Factory in Paris, France, a historic royal manufacture established by King Louis XIV in 1667. The factory, located in the heart of the city, was once the largest tapestry workshop in the world, renowned for its intricate and exquisite designs. The Gobelins Factory was founded during the height of the French monarchy, a time when the arts flourished under the patronage of the king. Louis XIV recognized the importance of the arts in projecting the power and grandeur of the monarchy, and the Gobelins Factory was a key component of this cultural movement. The factory produced tapestries for the royal palaces and churches, as well as for other European courts. The designs were inspired by the greatest artists of the time, including Le Brun, Le Vasseur, and Le Sueur. The tapestries were woven using the finest wool and silk threads, and the colors were derived from natural dyes. The production process was a complex and labor-intensive one, involving the collaboration of skilled artists, weavers, and dyers. The designs were first drawn on paper, then transferred to cartoons, which were used as guides for the weavers. The weaving process itself was a meticulous one, with each thread carefully woven in its proper place to create the intricate patterns and designs. This print offers a glimpse into the rich history of the Gobelins Factory, a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of France during the reign of Louis XIV. The factory continues to operate today, producing tapestries and textiles of the highest quality, preserving the legacy of this historic institution.
