• Resumen

  • Newly discovered documents in the Algemeen Rijksarchief, Brussels, reveal details about the genesis of a major series of tapestries commissioned by Don Luis de Benavides Carrillo de Toledo following his appointment as Governor General of the Spanish Netherlands in 1659. They shed light on the ways in which four leading tapestry makers used the commission to respond to challenges to their domination of the market.
