EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning tapestry depicting the Acts of the Apostles, specifically focusing on the calling of Saint Paul. The intricate detail and vibrant colors bring to life this masterpiece woven at the Beauvais Workshop under the direction of Philippe Behagle in 1695-98. The tapestry is housed in Beauvais Cathedral, located in Beauvais, France. This particular section of the artwork highlights a group of apostles surrounding Saint Paul during his divine calling.

The Tapestry depicting the Acts of the Apostles consists of eight pieces that depict various significant events from biblical stories. These include scenes such as the miraculous catch of fish, Saint Peter's calling, Ananias' death, and more.

This print allows art enthusiasts to appreciate Raphael's genius even centuries after his passing. It serves as a testament to his enduring legacy and continues to inspire awe with its remarkable craftsmanship.
