Hunting in Compiegne French Wall Tapestry People across the top of whichStag hunting was a noble amusement and one of the favorite hobbies of lords in the past. In the 18th century, tapestries were very often woven with those scenes. This hunting scene was created by the famous French animal painter, Jean Bapiste Oudry (1686 & 1755). In a landscape surrounded by woods, horsemen prepare the pack of stag hounds to the sound of hunting horns. This tapestry represents a hunting halt in the Forest of Compiegne, north of Paris.
