Romulus Offers the Head of Amulius to Numitor
by ORLEY, Bernaert van, Pen and brown ink, watercolour, 340 x 554 mm
This tapestry design by Van Orley mixes Renaissance architecture and ornament, armor all’antica, and figures and expressions inspired by D�rer’s prints. The artist’s cursory drawing style, which is especially noticeable in his background figures, echoes the style of some of Jan Gossart’s more loosely drawn sheets.
