Les Angelots French Tapestry

This French jacquard wall tapestry, Les Angelots, portrays a group of infant angels or cherubs in a classic Renaissance theme. The angels cavort on floral pavilion in the sky playing music and looking down onto the earth below. Cherubs were a popular theme during the Renaissance era, often adorning frescoes in churches and chapels, to bring a more innocent and child-like form to the angels.
