Christ's charge to Peter

A print after a tapestry illustrating 'Christ's Charge to Peter', from a set of ten tapestries illustrating episodes from the lives of St Peter and St Paul commissioned by Pope Leo X for the Sistine Chapel. Dated. Numbered at upper right: no.8. Lettered with title in Latin and artists' names. The tapestry designs were executed by Raphael and his workshop and transported to Flanders, where the tapestries were woven in the Brussels workshop of Pieter von Aelst. Seven of the tapestry cartoons survive, now in the Victoria and Albert Museum on loan from the Royal Collection. The ten original tapestries, intended to be hung in the Sistine Chapel, are housed in the Vatican Museums.
