St Peter and St John healing a lame man at the gate of the Temple

A print after the tapestry of 'The Healing of the Lame Man', from a set of ten tapestries commissioned by Pope Leo X illustrating episodes from the lives of St Peter and St Paul. Lettered with artists' and printer's names below image. With coat of arms at lower centre, and head of a woman at lower right (detail from the tapestry). State without dedication. Annotated in pencil on the back. Described as from Pietro de Brognoli's series of prints after Raphael's Stanze frescoes and Sistine Chapel tapestries dated 1874 (Höper 2001). Not in Ruland (1876).

The tapestry designs were executed by Raphael and his workshop and transported to Flanders, where the tapestries were woven in the workshop of Pieter van Aelst. Seven of the original tapestry cartoons survive (including that of 'The Healing of the Lame Man'), 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.
