專家說明

Alentours tapestries such as this were first designed by Jean Germain Soufflot (d. 1780), François Boucher (d. 1770) and Maurice Jacques (d. 1784) for the Royal Gobelins Tapestry Manufacture between 1757 and 1767. The idea was then copied by Aubusson and Beauvais for alentours depicting the fables of La Fontaine and later incorporating scenes designed by Jean-Baptiste Huet (d. 1811), which were woven between 1775 and 1790.
