The catalogue that accompanies the exhibition includes two important essays. The first, A “costly tapestry series” reunited: “The Wedding of Mercury” from the Collection of the Duke of Lerma, by Concha Herrero Carretero, discusses the art of tapestry weaving, its reception in Renaissance and Baroque Spain as an “art of kings”, and the presence of tapestries in royal and aristocratic collections such as that of Francisco de Sandoval y Rojas, 1st Duke of Lerma. Finally, the text discusses the status of tapestry as artistic patrimony from the 19th century onwards.



The second essay, The Attribution of the Cartoons for the Story of Mercury and Herse, by Nello Forti Grazzini, examines the influence of Raphael and his school on Flemish tapestry-making. The text also presents the hypothesis that the possible designers of the (now lost) cartoons for this series, which clearly reveal Italian influence derived from the school of Giulio Romano, were Lodi da Cremona and Benedetto Pagni.



The catalogue includes entries on all the works included in the exhibition.

Il y a un siècle, en avril 1917, on découvrit près de la Porta Maggiore à Rome une basilique souterraine datant de l’Antiquité.« Les murs, les voûtes, l’abside et sa conque et jusqu’aux parois des pilastres sont ornés de bas-reliefs en stuc, de l’effet le plus saisissant. » (J. Hubaux)« L’esprit reste presque partout confondu par le merveilleux état de conservation de ces œuvres fragiles. [...] Aux murs de la basilique de la Porte Majeure se déploie le triomphe des stucateurs romains. » (J. Carcopino)Tout porte à croire que le monument fut érigé vers 25 ou 20 avant J.-C., c’est-à-dire au début du règne de l’empereur Auguste.Or puisque tous les stucs représentent des scènes de l’Énéide de Virgile et sont contemporains de l’époque où celui-ci composait sa célèbre épopée (entre 27 et 19 avant J.-C.), il est évident que le poète était lui-même directement impliqué dans la décoration de l’hypogée, d’autant plus que chaque image colle au plus près au passage du poème qu’elle illustre. Le monument confirme d’ailleurs l’analyse de nombreux philologues qui voient dans l’Énéide une succession de véritables tableaux peints ou sculptés, réunis dans un ensemble architectural.Le présent ouvrage cherche à montrer en quoi les scènes de l’hypogée constituent un commentaire, souvent surprenant, mais très précis, du texte de l’Énéide, commentaire d’autant plus précieux et révélateur qu’il remonte à l’auteur même de l’épopée.

When we try to make sense of pictures, what do we gain when we use a particular method - and what might we be missing or even losing? Empirical experimentation on three types of mythological imagery - a Classical Greek pot, a frieze from Hellenistic Pergamon and a second-century CE Roman sarcophagus - enables Katharina Lorenz to demonstrate how theoretical approaches to images (specifically, iconology, semiotics, and image studies) impact the meanings we elicit from Greek and Roman art. A guide to Classical images of myth, and also a critical history of Classical archaeology's attempts to give meaning to pictures, this book establishes a dialogue with the wider field of art history and proposes a new framework for the study of ancient visual culture. It will be essential reading not just for students of classical art history and archaeology, but for anyone interested in the possibilities - and the history - of studying visual culture.
