Tapestry

St John's Co-Cathedral, Valletta, Malta

 

This is one of 29 17C tapestries from the Gift of Glory exhibition depicting episodes in the Life of Christ and the Triumph of the Catholic Church which are currently on exhibition in the cathedral until late June this year.

 

They were commissioned by the Grand Master of the Knights of St John, Frà Ramon Perellos y Roccafull, between 1697 and 1702. This particular tapestry depicts the Last Supper.

 

Anyone visiting Malta before 24 June should try and visit the exhibition if they can and also see the two magnificent Caravaggio paintings hanging there. www.stjohnscocathedral.com/the-co-cathedral/the-tapestrie...
