Then I googled “Tapisseries du Château de Cheverny” and there was that link to a book where it read:<br />Simon Vouet. Manufacture de Paris. “Enlèvement de la Belle Hélène” (Salle des Gardes), remarquable production des Gobelins.” That description seemed to fit you photo.<br /><br />The other one could very well be a Flemish tapestry. I suggested Le Nain, but it could be anybody else.<br /><br />There is no doubt about Henri IV!<br /><br />I feel better that you are mystified, because I was mystified, and still am. But as you said never mind!

But then no specific ones were mentioned. So I don't have a clue.<br /><br />Carolyn and Evelyn, still kind of mystified but never mind. Do you think we could make our house look more like Cheverny?

The subject matter looks very much in the manner of Louis Le Nain (1593-1648) but I could not find confirmation of that.<br />The third photo reminds me of a question that was asked young children to see how smart they were: “What is the color of Henri IV’s white horse?” Looking at the picture there is no telling what the real color was.<br />All these photos are extremely good.chmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-24751161338741093382012-04-01T17:26:29.286+02:002012-04-01T17:26:29.286+02:00The tapestries are beautiful and I'd enjoy hav...The tapestries are beautiful and I'd enjoy having that bronze equestrian statue for myself. ;-) Wonderful pics.<br /><br />I thought Cheverny was the most like a "real home" of the chateaux I've seen. A really BIG home, but the scale is more manageable than something like Vaux le Vicomte. To me the best part was the walk up to the facade, which is so beautifully proportioned.Diogenesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-60510163141097371532012-04-01T16:32:21.549+02:002012-04-01T16:32:21.549+02:00I second Ken's "???" to Carolyn and ...I second Ken's "???" to Carolyn and Evelyn :) Everything looks normal to me!
