Gallery containing a beautiful collection of tapestries in Rome.
This gallery has been home to a collection of tapestries since 1838. The tapestries in front of the windows are called "old school" tapestries and were smoothed in the 16th century in Brussels, after cardboard boxes from Raphael's school; the last two are from a Flemish school. The tapestries on the window side are from the "new school" and were smoothed in Brussels in the 17th century. All of them relate scenes from the life of Christ. Notice on several tapestries the emblem of the Barberini family's bees, commissioned by Cardinal Barberini in 1627.
