These elaborate borders, depicting Elements, were first employed on the Story of Noah tapestry series woven for Philip II by Wilhelm de Pannemaker between 1563 and 1567. An Audenarde tapestry incorporating similar element borders and depicting Diana's Hunt is in the town collection of Eindhoven (G. Delmarcel, Flemish Tapestry, Tielt, 1999, p. 281), while another set of four panels that are believed to depict The Story of Judas Maccabae with unidentified weaver's mark is in the Burgos Cathedral, Spain (Het Herfsttij van de Vlaamse Tapijtkunst, International Conference, Brussels, 1959, pp. 105 - 106). The borders of these tapestries vary slightly in that they have Gods to each of the corners and Fire is represented in a different manner. The overall execution and style of this tapestry, as well as the general tone of the borders would, however, indicate that this tapestry can also be attributed to Audenarde.
COMPARABLE TAPERTRIES
A tapestry with very closely related borders with nearly identical angle clasps and the main subject depicting a man attacked by a lion before elders and with figures fleeing in the background is in the Christian Museum, Esztergom, Hungary (E. Laszls and C. Kiads, Flemish and French Tapestries in Hungary, Budapest, 1981, cat. 56). A further tapestry with the same borders but in reverse and depicting a King seated on a throne and two maidens before him was sold anonymously at Christie's London, 30 October 1997, lot 238.
