Artist's Description

I was inspired to recreate the wooded landscape sheltering the handsome King Henri II of France (1519-1559) and his beloved royal mistress, Diane De Poitiers (1499-1566), in this tapestry woven in the atelier of Jacques Guebels and Jan Raes (ca.1575-ca.1625) and called “A Man and a Woman Sitting in an Arbor.”

Diane is depicted as the Goddess Diana whose symbols are the bow and quiver as she is the Goddess of the wilderness and the hunt. You will see the bow and quiver tucked into the greenery of the arbor I’ve created to shelter a stolen moment of love and pleasure in the privacy of a serene, wooded glen set with tree branches, lush greenery and flowers.

To highlight the light golds, blues, rusts and reds of Diane and the King’s clothes, I’ve chosen a beautiful array of fresh and faux flowers, tree branches, plants, succulents and greenery.
