The Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature conserves five tapestries belonging to the Maximilian Hunts hanging. This is a reweaving, under the direction of the workshop manager Dominique de La Croix (between 1720 and 1740), of a subject created by the Brussels painter Bernard van Orley in 1535 for Emperor Maximilian of Habsburg. This theme was very popular in the 16th century. Its revival in the eighteenth century is due to the lack of new models during the reorganization of the royal manufacture of Gobelins in 1667 by Colbert. Presented in the Louvre Museum, the initial weaving develops the same allegorical vision of the twelve months of the year, illustrated by as many scenes related to the practice of hunting.
