Inspired by an original design of DAVID TENIERS II (1610-1690) made in Brussels in 1651 in Jérôme Le Clerc and Jacques Van der Borcht' Workshop, this tapestry was woven in 1750 in the Van den Hecke mill. Popular subject for the weavers, fishing and trading scenes illustrate the main activity of the northern ports. "L'Arrivée au port" captures the strength and bustle of these marine themes, whose popularity is undiminished to these days.
