Gothic Court Scene
Brussels, 1510-1520
Coloured wools and silks
Dimensions 10ft 19in x 8ft 9in 3.28 x 2.67m
This splendid representation of late Gothic court life seems to
depict a coronation. The tapestry is unusual for its small
dimensions and its exceptionally well-preserved colours. Similar
tapestries were ordered by Cardinal Wolsey in 1517 for Hampton Court
Palace.
Formerly in the collection of Edward James.
