1620 / 1625, Mortlake
rdfs:comment
Tapestry, 'Vulcan and Venus', Mortlake, England, ca. 1620-1625. Tapestry of 'Vulcan and Venus; Neptune and Cupid plead for the lovers'. The scene shows the middle of a hall in Vulcan's palace where Neptune stands looking back over his shoulder at the three Graces who bewail the plight of Venus. In front of Neptune, Cupid approaches Vulcan, asking for the release of Mars and Venus. Vulcan sits at the far right beneath a canopy of state between bulbous columns with renaissance decoration. In the background, at the right, an open archway reveals classical buildings in the distance and the small figure of a man. Behind Neptune is a closed perspective of columns and pilasters. Through a window in the top left corner, Vulcan is seen rehearsing his wife and her lover from the net. The border shows; top centre - winged boys support a cartouche with the Prince of Wales' feathers. Bottom centre - Sphynxes flank the 'Sceptra Favent Artes' motif. Sides centre - Interlaced 'c's with a princely coronet. Top corners - Frame with trumpet. Bottom corners - Satyr with pan-pipes and bagpipe. Four medallions with Ceres are at the sides, four medallions with gods of the elements - Juno, Jupiter, Cybele and Neptune, are at the top and bottom. British Galleries: This tapestry was one of a set of nine woven for Charles I, when he was Prince of Wales, that tell the mythical story of the love affair of the Roman gods Mars and Venus, the wife of Vulcan. Such tapestries were extremely expensive and were considered essential to furnish palace interiors. They could be moved from palace to palace to create grand, decorative effects for special occasions. The Mortlake tapestry workshop was set up by Francis Crane (1579-1636) under James I and Prince Charles in 1619. It employed weavers from Flanders (now Belgium).
