This commission played an instrumental part in the stylistic development of the Flemish tapestries, a marvellous illustration of princely splendour in the sixteenth century. Under Habsburg rule, Brussels soon emerged as a leading manufactory for exquisite products. Raphael's designs are among the most successful series in the history of tapestry production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis publication shows the enormous richness of the tapestries through dozens of details.
