BRUSSELS, BY JACOB I GEUBELS, SECOND HALF 16TH CENTURY

Jacob I Geubels belongs to a Brussels weaver dynasty founded by Frans, possibly his father, in the 1550s and continued by Jacob II until 1629. Jacob I, with one of the largest workshops in Brussels, often collaborated with Jan II Raes and wove such series as Decius Mus and The Triumph of the Eucharist after Rubens and the Acts of the Apostles after Raphael.

A tapestry with identical figural compositions to the angles was sold anonymously, Parke-Bernet Galleries, New York, 12-13 October 1962, lot 424.
