The Card Players European Tapestry Wall hanging

The tapestry "Card Players" is inspired by Paul Cézanne's renowned painting series of the same name. Created in 1890, the original painting is part of a series of five oil paintings by the French Post-Impressionist artist and is housed at the Orsay Museum. These paintings depict Provençal peasants deeply engrossed in playing cards, a theme that Cézanne explored with remarkable depth and variation. In this tapestry, two card players sit across from each other, fully absorbed in their game. One man has a cigarette dangling from his mouth, and a wine bottle is placed on the red table between them. Both men wear hats, adding to their rustic appearance. The colors—red, brown, cream, blue, and black—are meticulously woven, creating a rich and textured representation of the original artwork. Produced using the Jacquard weaving technique in France, the tapestry showcases Cézanne’s artistic mastery and the intricate skill of contemporary weavers. The Jacquard method allows for precise control over the loom, faithfully translating Cézanne’s brushstrokes and color palette into fabric.
