Paie Des Moissonneurs (Paying the Harvesters)

An early 16th Century tapestry from Flanders representing the month of August. Peasant folk are receiving wages for their labours in reaping the harvest.

Silk screened tapestries are also known as serigraphic tapestries. Each silk-screened tapestry is serigraphed onto irregularly woven fabric (wool, cotton or linen). Considerable labour is required with this process, including hand-painting to finish the details. Silk screen tapestries appear antiqued and aged giving them the look and feel of tapestries that hang in museums today.
