Omschrijving
In 1515, Pope Leo X commissioned the Italian
painter Raffaello Sanzio (1483?1520), now
generally known as Raphael in English, to make
the cartoons for a series of ten tapestries with
scenes from the lives of Saints Peter and Paul.
This commission played an instrumental part
in the stylistic development of the Flemish
tapestries, a marvellous illustration of princely
splendour in the sixteenth century. Under
Habsburg rule, Brussels soon emerged as a
leading manufactory for exquisite products.
Raphael?s designs are among the most successful
series in the history of tapestry production.
This publication highlights the tremendous
wealth of these tapestries in intricate detail.
It accompanies a collection exhibition of the
Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, home
tothe former imperial tapestry collection,
from 26 September 2023 to 14 January 2024.
