dc.description.abstractThe photo shows part of a tapestry within the Gallery of Tapestries (Galleria degli Arazzi), which is part of the Vatican Museums. These are public museums that display about 20,000 of 70K works collected by the Catholic Church and the papacy throughout the centuries. The museums were founded by Pope Julius II in the early 16th century. Only the Louvre in France receives more annual visitors than the Vatican Museums. The museums consist of 24 galleries, with the Sistine Chapel being the last room visited. The tapestry pictured is from the right side of the Gallery of Tapestries, which displays works created by the Barberini school (active between 1627 to 1683), illustrating the life of Pope Urban VIII.
