Holy Family
The Holy Family (130 x 185 cm) is a Gobelins tapestry woven in wool and silk, dated 1852-56. Copying of paintings like Raphael's Holy Family, which this tapestry is after, formed a large part of the new work undertaken at the Gobelins tapestry manufactory in the nineteenth century. Napoleon III gave this tapestry to the South Kensington Museum (now the Victoria & Albert Museum) in recognition of the gracious welcome and assistance given by the officials of the Museum to the French Jury at the Universal Exhibition of 1862 in London.
The Holy Family is available as a
