Around 1515, Raphael (1483-1520) designed a set of tapestries for Leo X, the first Medici pope. Each was sumptuously woven in gold, silver, and silk, and depicted scenes from classical mythology with inventive grotesques.
Now lost, these spectacular, grand-scale textiles are reconstructed in this book and set among a series of unprecedented decorative projects that Pope Leo commissioned from the artist.
