The series includes Diana, Neptune, Saturn, Jupiter, Bacchus, Venus, Ceres and Juno, all with their respective attributes. This series is not to be confused with Audran's later and quite similar series of arabesque portières: Les Mois (1709), which are smaller in scale and therefore suitable for residences other than royal palaces.

  • Tapestry, wool and silk, 'Neptune' or 'Water', Portières des Dieux, Gobelins; Paris, 1740-1760 (en)
  • This tapestry comes from the celebrated <i>Portières des Dieux</i> series, designed by Claude Audran III (1658-1734) for the French royal tapestry manufactory, the Gobelins. The series depicts the four seasons and four elements and enjoyed such widespread popularity that it was re-woven continuously between 1700 and 1789. Neptune was the God of the sea, and as such, ably personifies the element that forms the subject of this tapestry: water. He is shown seated astride a cloud, beneath a garland of coral, with his trident in one hand. The motifs in the surrounding arabesques evoke the oceanic world: pearls, fish, fishing nets, seaweed and the prow of a ship cresting a wave. (en)
