The Offering of the Boar's Head, from The Story of Meleager and Atalanta Made 1673-1686 Brussels. The Story of Meleager and Atalanta is based on the version of the legend that appears in Ovidís Metamorphoses. Meleager was the son of Oeneus, the king of Calydon. One day the goddess Artemis, enraged by Oeneusís failure to honor her appropriately, sent a wild boar to ravage Calydonís fields. Meleager organized a hunting party to kill the animal. Atalanta, the daughter of the king of Arcadia, was the only woman in the group. As soon as Meleager laid eyes on her, he fell in love. Atalanta wounded the boar with an arrow and Meleager killed it with a spear. The prince honored the princess for drawing first blood, declaring her queen of the hunt and offering her the boarís head. Meleagerís uncles were jealous, and tried to steal the trophy. Blinded by love and rage, Meleager killed them. The tapestry shows Meleager returning the boarís head to Atalanta..

The Garden of False Learning from The Table of Cebes 1550-80 Based on a woodcut by David Kandel German This needlepoint hanging depicts a scene from the Tabula Cebetis (The Table of Cebes), a treatise long wrongly believed to have been written by Socrates' disciple Cebes that enjoyed great popularity as a Latin reader in Europe in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The text describes a painting displayed in the Temple of Saturn in Thebes that showed the journey through life and the pathway to true happiness. This hanging depicts the penultimate episode in the journey: the protagonist is beckoned from his path by a woman representing False Learning. Elegant figures in courtly dress are distracted from true wisdom and happiness by dedicating too much energy to the pursuit of knowledge through debate, philosophy, geometry, astrology and alchemy, geography, astronomy, arithmetic, and music.This hanging is one of a set of three (the others are in the Musée Jacquemart-André, Paris and
