Exceptional Aubusson tapestry woven in wool and silk around 1650, depicting Godefroy de Bouillon
wounded before Jerusalem. Jerusalem Delivered recounts the capture of Jerusalem in 1099 by Godefroy de
Bouillon during the First Crusade. Jerusalem Delivered is an Italian epic poem from the 16th
century. The tapestry shows Godefroy de Bouillon wounded by an arrow and cared for by his physician Herodimus.
An angel intervenes to bring dictamus, a precious plant that will cure the leader of the Christian knights.
The scene is framed by an interesting border decorated with trophies of arms. In the center of the upper border
of the upper border are coats of arms surmounted by a count's crown.
The Musée de Grenoble has the same tapestry in its collection.
The tapestry has been damaged in the upper quarter and also shows some wear and
accidents.
Dimensions: 5.42m long and 2.87m high.
Delivery on request.
