Tapestry detail
Brussels. City hall.
The Maximilian Room next to the States Room is named after a 19th-century double portrait of Emperor Maximilian I and Mary of Burgundy. The space was intended for the administrators of the States of Brabant and was taken over by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. The walls are covered with four tapestries from the eight-part Life of Clovis series, based on cartoons by Charles Poerson. The other four tapestries decorate the next room. The Grangé gallery on the side of the courtyard connects all these rooms. It contains 18th-century royal portraits painted around 1718 by Louis Grangé.
