Description:
|
|
The Gallery of Tapestries features Flemish tapestries, made in Brussels by the workshop of (or circle of) Pieter van Aelst (from drawings by Raphael’s pupils), during the pontificate of Clement VII (1523-1534). These tapestries were first shown in the Sistine Chapel in 1531. Pieter van Aelst received the original Vatican commission from Pope Leo X to produce tapestries from Raphael cartoons (1513-1515). Van Aelst was an experienced craftsman and managed to circumvent all the difficulties he encountered with this new style. The series was immensely popular and was copied throughout Europe until the late 18th century; the popularity also spawned this second series. Of the original twelve tapestries of this set, eleven remain of which nine are on display since 1838. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
