Frédérique Bachellerie with Delacroix “Bouquet de fleurs” tapestry
Frédérique Bachellerie, a renowned textile artist, brings a contemporary reinterpretation to life with her exquisite wool tapestry inspired by Eugène Delacroix’s painting “Bouquet de fleurs” (bouquet of flowers).

Delacroix, a master of Romanticism, ventured into floral subjects with this piece, first exhibited at the Salon in 1849. Known for his dynamic compositions and vibrant palette, Delacroix experimented with various techniques including watercolor, gouache, and pastel to create a harmonious blend of different flower species.

Bachellerie’s tapestry captures the essence of Delacroix’s original work while infusing it with her unique avant-garde style. She masterfully translates the vibrancy and texture of Delacroix’s brushstrokes into the tactile richness of wool, creating a piece that feels both timeless and modern. The tapestry reflects Delacroix’s innovative use of color and composition, where each flower contributes to a vivid, dynamic palette that seems to pulsate with life.

This tapestry is a testament to Bachellerie’s skill in blending traditional textile techniques with contemporary artistic vision. The choice of wool, with its inherent warmth and texture, adds a new dimension to Delacroix’s floral arrangement, inviting viewers to experience the artwork in a tactile form. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns in the tapestry echo Delacroix’s ability to mix different species of flowers seamlessly, creating a lively and harmonious composition.

Bachellerie’s work is more than a simple reproduction; it is a dialogue between two artists across centuries. While Delacroix’s painting once inspired Paul Cézanne, whose interpretation is housed in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, Bachellerie’s tapestry continues this legacy of inspiration and reinterpretation. Her creation is a celebration of the enduring beauty and influence of Delacroix’s “Bouquet de fleurs,” reimagined through the medium of wool tapestry, and stands as a testament to the timeless appeal of floral art in both painting and textile form.
