EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Month of May / Chateau of Saint-Germain-en-Laye" a magnificent tapestry from the series known as The Months or Royal Residences. Created in the renowned Gobelins Workshop for Louis XIV, this masterpiece was crafted by the talented artist Charles Le Brun. In this enchanting scene, we are transported to the lush gardens surrounding the majestic Chateau of Saint-Germain-en-Laye. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring life to this royal residence, evoking a sense of grandeur and opulence. The focal point of the tapestry is a beautifully adorned female figure, surrounded by an array of exotic animals including leopards and deer. She stands amidst blooming floral arrangements, symbolizing abundance and fertility that are often associated with the month of May. Notably, within a decorative cartouche lies an astrological representation of Gemini - signifying duality and harmony. This inclusion adds depth to the artwork's meaning while also paying homage to Louis XIV himself. Every element in this composition exudes regality - from Ionic columns framing the chateau's entrance to garlands adorning balustrades. The presence of royal symbols such as fleur-de-lys further emphasizes its connection to French monarchy. "The Month of May / Chateau de Saint-Germain-en-Laye" is not merely a tapestry; it is a testament to artistic excellence and historical significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we can't help
