The personification of earthquake is taken from the tapestry illustrating ‘St Paul in Prison’; the narrative scene is woven beneath 'Christ's Charge to Peter'.
From a series of 15 plates (including title-page with dedication to Leopoldo de’ Medici) after the monochromatic frieze-like scenes illustrating episodes from the life of Pope Leo X in the borders of the Sistine Chapel tapestries. The plates were etched by Pietro Santi Bartoli and the series was published in Rome by Gian Giacomo de Rossi.
