Cazadores en un paisaje

With elements after a design on a woodcut by Jost Amman Swiss
ca. 1575–95
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 509
Este tapiz largo y estrecho está tejido con una paleta de colores exquisitos y bien conservados. Se habría colgado al estilo inglés, como decían los tejedores flamencos de la época, es decir entre la cornisa y el zócalo de madera a media altura. Con base en criterios estilísticos, iconográficos y técnicos se atribuye a tejedores inmigrantes que buscaron refugio en Inglaterra, quizá en Londres, huyendo de las guerras en Flandes. Debido a sus apuros económicos, los tejedores utilizaron como motivo central un diseño de segunda mano, el palacio del rey Salomón, basado en una xilografía del artista suizo Jost Amman (1539–1591). A su alrededor agruparon con gran ingenio los diversos elementos del cartón del tapiz.
