The Aubusson tapestry manufacture of the 17th and 18th centuries managed to compete with the royal manufacture of Gobelins tapestry and the privileged position of Beauvais tapestry.〔R.A. Weigert, ''French Tapestry'' 1956:135-42.〕 Tapestry manufacture at Aubusson, in the upper valley of the Creuse in central France, may have developed from looms in isolated family workshops established by Flemings that are noted in documents from the 16th century. Typically, Aubusson tapestries depended on engravings as a design source or the full-scale cartoons from which the low-warp tapestry-weavers worked. As with Flemish and Parisian tapestries of the same time, figures were set against a conventional background of ''verdure'', stylized foliage and vignettes of plants on which birds perch and from which issue glimpses of towers and towns. The town of Felletin is identified as the source from which came the Aubusson tapestries in the inventory of Charlotte of Albret, Duchess of Valentinois and widow of Cesare Borgia (1514).〔Weigert 1956:136.〕 ==Gallery== File:Tapisserie d'Aubusson (Huet).JPG|Aubusson tapestry after Jean-Baptiste Huet, c.1786 File:Tapisserie-Aubusson-Arles-4.jpg|Aubusson tapestry from Arles File:Eole.jpg|Aubusson tapestry 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aubusson tapestry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
