Apollo and the Muses

This mythological scene set in a fine classical border is attributed to the workshop of Raphael de la Planche, a famous master weaver and the son of the Flemish weaver brought to France by Henry IV in 1607. The gold fleur-de-lys, the mark for Paris, is evident at the right selvedge. In the centre of the upper border are coat of arms of Grimaldi of Monaco. The tapestry was probably woven for Honore LL, Prince of Monaco, who died in 1662. Size: 516 x 352.5 cm
