    TOMMASO DI LORENZO (1841-1922)

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

    1874?

    Engraving | 47.9 x 49.4 cm (platemark) | RCIN 853095

    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 production details, dedication and dedicatee's coat of arms. On watermarked paper, with pencil annotations. Not in Ruland (1876). Described as from Pietro de Brognoli's series of prints after Raphael's Stanze frescoes and Sistine Chapel tapestries dated 1874 (Höper 2001).

    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 tapestry cartoons survive (including that of The Healing of the Lame Man), now in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London on loan from the Royal Collection. The ten original tapestries, intended to be hung in the Sistine Chapel, are housed in the Vatican Museums.
