ROMAIN (Jules) SCIPIO THE AFRICAN The History of Scipio. Tapestries and drawings. Catalog of the exhibition at the Grand Palais (Paris). 1978. Editions des Musées Nationaux, octavo, square format, 152 pages. Numerous illustrations in black and color outside the text. Bibliography. This tapestry is the tenth and last piece of a hanging whose cartoons had been copied by François Bonnemer, on a Brussels hanging kept in the Garde-Meuble de la Couronne. This was itself inspired by a large hanging delivered in 1535 to Francis I and representing the military exploits of Scipio. Eight tapestries are exhibited at the Louvre Museum, the other two are kept in the collections of the Mobilier National. Very nice copy.
