拍品專文

This pair of tapestries from a series depicting 'The Life of Noah' are related to a suite designed by the 'Flemish Raphael' Michel Coxcie (1499-1592). Probably the first from that series to be completed and consisting of eight panels was supplied to King Sigismund II Augustus of Poland as part of the 142 tapestries he purchased in The Netherlands between 1548 and 1572 (G. Delmarcel, Flemish Tapestry, Tielt, 1999, pp. 130-134). This pair, although related, was designed by an unidentified contemporary artist. The borders with their strapwork framed tablets to the top are related to several sets woven by Frans Geubels (De Bloeitijd van de Vlaamse Tapijtkunst, Brussels, 1969, p. 157, fig. 16, and p. 161, fig. 17). Frans Geubels (d. 1585) was born in Antwerp, then recorded in Brussels as a Poorter in 1544 and active until 1571.
