EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable tapestry from the 16th century, created for none other than Pope Leo X. The intricate design features a mischievous monkey holding a bound putto, standing proudly on a garland. In front of this whimsical scene are two winged putti, adding an angelic touch to the composition. The artist behind this masterpiece is known as the Master of the Die, whose talent shines through in every detail. The image captures a moment frozen in time, where nature and art intertwine seamlessly. A variety of elements can be found within the tapestry - from delicate flowers and birds to reptiles like snails and tortoises. This artwork not only represents Italian Renaissance aesthetics but also carries historical significance as it was commissioned by Giovanni de Medici himself. Its presence at the Metropolitan Museum of Art serves as a testament to its cultural value. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to an era where cherubs roamed freely amidst lush landscapes. It reminds us of the beauty that can be found when imagination meets craftsmanship. This photograph allows us to appreciate both the skillful execution and symbolic meaning embedded within this extraordinary piece of art by Raphael Sanzio da Urbino, better known simply as Raphael.
