Resumen de The Raphael Tapestry Cartoons Re-Examined

Sharon Fermor, Alan Derbyshire

• In Spring 1992, the seven Raphael tapestry cartoons on loan from the Royal Collection to the Victoria and Albert Museum were taken down from display for the restoration and redecoration of the gallery. This provided an opportunity to re-examine them, using techniques that had either not been available or were less well-developed when the cartoons were last conserved in the mid-1960s. This article outlines the main findings of the examination, the data from which will be stored as a permanent resource in the Museum's Print Room.
