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.

La importancia del adorno de interiores en el siglo xviii apenas ha dejado vestigios materiales más allá de las residencias palaciegas, siendo igualmente escaso el estudio de sus fuentes. Entre estas últimas se encuentra el plan decorativo para los apartamentos de la duquesa de Alba en el Palacio de Buenavista (1792), raro testimonio escrito en forma de viaje pintoresco por el comerciante de sedas y adornista François Grognard, quien hizo un diseño ex profeso a la moda. La traducción al español de este apasionante relato se acompaña de la transcripción anotada de la correspondencia manuscrita conservada en la Bibliothèque municipale de Lyon, y tres estudios particulares sobre Grognard, el palacio de Buenavista y la actividad de los adornistas. El libro es una contribución novedosa al conocimiento de la intensa actividad artística y comercial de Madrid y de las relaciones internacionales a través de un intermediario culto y moderno. La décoration intérieure au xviiie siècle n'a guère laissé de traces matérielles et l'étude de ses sources est également rare. Parmi ces dernières, le plan décoratif des appartements de la duchesse d’Alba dans le palais de Buenavista à Madrid (1792), un témoignage rare écrit sous la forme d'un voyage pittoresque par le marchand de soies et décorateur François Grognard, qui fit un dessin à la mode ex professo. Ce récit est accompagné de la transcription annotée de sa correspondance manuscrite et de trois études sur Grognard, le palais de Buenavista et l'activité des décorateurs.
