Jean-Baptiste Monnoyer French
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 532
Presenting a statue and musician within a fanciful architectural setting, this tapestry is from a set known as the Berain Grotesques, in reference to the pervasive stylistic influence of Jean Berain (1640-1711), who may even have provided preliminary sketches. The Classical architecture, flora, fauna and figures against the blank ground was in emulation of the Roman wall-paintings excavated in the subterranean chambers of Nero's palace in Rome (erroneously called 'grotti', hence 'grotesques'.) The light-hearted subject matter and whimsical design contrast with the heavier, ornate style that had characterized French tapestry during the third quarter of the seventeenth century.

Another Word For Protection Masterlist
NAVIGATION || Simon 'Ghost' Riley & Niece!reader (Platonic series)
❝ [There were many different words and examples for protection. Ways of saying it and ways of showing it; all varied from one person to another, oftentimes held reserved for the few that they love the most.
Defense, sanctuary, guidance, barrier, and buffer. A watchful eye and a steady hand.
It all led back to the same overarching meaning at the end of the day. You didn't need all of those fancy words to tell you what the sensation of it felt like, to be cared about. To you, another word for protection wasn't even a word at all, it was a single name:
Simon Riley.] ❞
