Four-leaf Flemish screen, in embossed leather and painted with hunting scenes, 18th century.
Screen composed of four hinged leaves, made of richly carved leather and painted with scenic representations of hunting scenes, characteristic of the 18th-century Flemish tradition.
The deeply ornamented surfaces feature knights on horseback, dogs in pursuit, and birds in flight, gallant scenes, surrounded by wooded landscapes and framed by decorative borders that reinforce the visual dynamism and scenic character of the piece.
The use of embossed leather, combined with a vibrant color palette, highlights the virtuosity of the Flemish workshops of the time, which combined functionality and decorative flair.
Imposing and decorative, this screen exemplifies the taste for staged interiors and hunting themes in eighteenth-century Europe, reflecting the technical refinement and ornamental richness that characterized Flemish furniture of the period.
