Raphael in the Sistine Chapel - A
Unique Exhibition in London
BY GREGORY DIPIPPO
n the occasion of the Holy Fathers visit to England in September, the
Vatican Museums and the Victoria and Albert Museum of London have put
together what promises to be one of the most interesting artistic exhibitions
in recent memory. Four tapestries designed by Raphael for use in the
Sistine Chapel will be loaned to the V&A, and displayed alongside the original
preparatory cartoons which were used to make them. The four tapestries are part of
a larger series of ten, which are kept nowadays in the Painting Gallery of the Vatican
Museums, in a room specially dedicated to the works of Raphael. The preparatory
cartoons have been the property of the royal family of England since 1623, when they
were acquired by the Prince of Wales, shortly before his accession to the throne as
King Charles I; they have been on permanent loan to the V&A since 1865.

Raphael's cartoon of The Miraculous Draught of Fishes, from the Victoria and Albert Museums.
On Wednesday, July 14, at a press conference given in the Sala Regia, (the room
immediately behind the Sistine Chapel), Dr. Antonio Paolucci, director of the Vatican
Museums, along with his colleagues, Drs. Arnold Nesselrath and Anna Maria de
Strobel, gave the formal presentation of the upcoming exhibition, along with an
explanation of the history of these famous tapestries. Afterwards, those who were in
attendance were given the unique opportunity to see several of the tapestries hung in
the space they for which they were first created. The last time they were placed on
display in the Sistine was in 1983, as part of the celebrations of the 500th
anniversary of Raphaels birth.
Lucky admirers of Raphael see his tapestries in the Sistine Chapel for the first time in almost 30
years. Pictured is the tapestry of the Healing of the Lame Man at the Beautiful Gate (Acts 3).
Three more tapestries, displayed beneath paintings by Perugino, Botticelli and Ghirlandaio.
The full-sized preparatory designs on heavy paper, called cartoni large papers in
Italian, (whence the English cartoon), were produced by
Raphael for Pope Leo X, in the years 1515 and 1516. A young
and prodigiously talented artist from Urbino, only 32 at that
point, Raphael had already been in Rome for a number of years.
Under the previous Pope, Julius II, (whose grand projects
included the rebuilding of Saint Peters Basilica), he was one of
several famous painters hired to decorate a new set of Papal
apartments in the Apostolic Palace. Julius was so pleased with
what he saw in the beginning of Raphaels work that he fired all
of the other of the painters, and engaged him to do the entire
project on his own. While Raphael was still working on the
second of four rooms, however, Julius died in February of 1513,

barely four months after Michelangelo had completed the re-decoration of the Sistine
Chapels vaulted ceiling. (Pictured right - self portrait of Raphael from his early teens.)
His successor, Card. Giovanni de Medici, elected at the age of only 37, and the
last non-priest to be elected Pope, was a member of the
famous family who had de facto ruled over Florence for
much of the Renaissance. His father Lorenzo is usually
referred to as the Magnificent, for the arts and the
sciences flourished amazingly in Florence during his
lifetime, due in no small degree to his patronage. As Pope
Leo X, his son continued the traditions of his family and his
papal predecessors in spectacular generosity to the arts,
along with very considerable charitable works. While
painters, poets and sculptors flocked to Rome, Raphael was
appointed Conserver of the Roman Antiquities, a sort of
superintendent of Pontifical works; under the Leos
patronage, he ran a combination workshop-and-school, with literally dozens of artists
to assist him on countless commissions for the Pope and others. (Pictured right -
Raphael's portrait of Pope Leo X with two cardinals. On the left is the Pope's cousin, Giulio de'
Medici, the future Clement VII, and on the right, Luigi de' Rossi.)
Raphael knew full well that his tapestries, although movable, and therefore capable of
being shown anywhere, would most frequently be seen in the Sistine Chapel, the
religious center of the Papal court. This meant that they would also be displayed next
to some of the finest frescoes of the Italian Renaissance, not only those on the ceiling,
finished just 3 years before by Michelangelo, but also a whole series of elaborate
panels, executed on the walls of the chapel more than 30 years earlier, by some of
the best painters of the later fifteenth-century.
Part of the right wall of the Sistine Chapel. From the bottom: painted draperies in silver and
gold, with the crest of Pope Sixtus IV; two scenes from the Life of Christ, left side by Perugino
and Signorelli, right side by Cosimo Rosselli; four sainted Popes. At the top, a few of the
hundreds of figures added by Michelangelo to the upper part of the chapel between 1508 and
1512. Raphael's tapestries were made to cover the bottom stages.
Many artists would balk at such an intimidating prospect, but not Raphael. In an age
in which imitation was considered the very essence of art, which is to say, the
imitation of the classical past, no-one had a keener eye for seeing what was good
about the styles of other artists, taking it into his own, and improving upon it. The
tapestries show his complete mastery of the figures of his teacher Perugino, for
example, one of the original painters of the Sistine; other images are clearly based on
the newer style of Michelangelo. A colleague pointed out to me, as we discussed the
position of the tapestries and their relationship to the paintings above them, that
they are indeed so absorbing that Raphael is effectively keeping the viewers eyes
away from his rivals famous ceiling.

St. Paul delivered from the prison at Philippi by an earthquake, (Acts 16), here represented as a
large human figure. The tapestry is made to fill the wall-space between the cantors' balcony and
the marble screen which divides the chapel into two parts.
The muscular figure of the earthquake owes much to the powerful, sculptural style of
Michelangelo's paintings.
The original plan called for a total of sixteen tapestries, with eight scenes each from
the life of Saint Peter and that of Saint Paul. Once the preparatory cartoons were
ready, they were sent to Brussels, to be woven into tapestries in the workshop of
Peter van Aelst, known at the time as one of the finest such workshops in Europe.
The first seven were delivered in 1519, and Pope Leo was so extraordinarily pleased
with them that he decided to display the set, though less than half completed, in the
Sistine for the Mass of St. Stephens day. In his diary, the Master of Papal
Ceremonies, Paride de Grassis, notes the universal admiration, and indeed
astonishment, with which they were received. De Grassis himself says that while the
motto of the Papal Chapel at the Lateran, the Sancta Sanctorum, was Non est in toto
sanctior orbe locus there is no holier place in all the world, that of the Sistine was
now Non est aliquod in orbe nunc pulcherius Now there is nothing in the world
more beautiful.
Three more tapestries were completed and sent to Rome within two years, but, with
the premature deaths of both Raphael in 1520, and of Leo X the following year, the
project came to a halt, and the remaining six were never finished. It should be
remembered that although the frescos of Raphael and Michelangelo are now the main
attraction at the Vatican Museums, in their time, and long after, tapestry was in
some ways a more prestigious medium, and in every way, vastly more expensive.
Between the monies paid to Raphael for the design, and the cost of the actual
weaving, Leo X paid greater than five times as much for the completed tapestries as
Julius II had paid Michelangelo for the whole painting of the Sistine ceiling.
The cartoons remained in Brussels, and enjoyed as great a fortune as the tapestries

in Rome; they were studied and imitated by many artists, among them Albrecht
Drer, while new sets of tapestries from the same designs were later executed for
several courts, including those of England, Spain, and the duchy of Mantua.
Eventually, they were bought by the Prince of Wales, the future Charles I, and yet
another set executed; the Victoria and Albert show will also include a version of The
Miraculous Draught of Fishes woven at the tapestry-works at Mortlake. For those
who are traveling to London, the show at the Victoria and Albert will provide a
unique opportunity to see one of the greatest artists to ever work in Rome, in his one
of his finest moments; even Raphael himself never saw both the cartoons and the
finished tapestries together.
The Raphael tapestries, the preparatory designs, and related items will be
displayed at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London from September 8 to
October 17 of this year. Admission to the V&A is free.
On Friday, September 17th, the London Oratory and the V&A will present a private
viewing of the Raphael show, together with a concert in the Oratory of sacred
music from the Roman school, performed by the Choir of the London Oratory,
directed by Patrick Russill, with organist John McGreal.
The concert will be at 7.00pm, and the private viewings will be 5.30pm-6.45pm
and 8.30pm-9.45pm. Tickets (unreserved) are 18 (concert and viewing) and 15
(concert only), available only through the V&A Bookings Office.
