The Valois Tapestries are a series of eight large tapestries depicting festivities or "magnificences" held by Catherine de' Medici's Royal Courts in the second half of the 16th century. The tapestries were primarily modeled on drawings by Antoine Caron, but to Caron's distant views of large panoramas crowded with figures much larger portraits of leading persons at the French court have been added in the foreground, usually to the side, as well as elaborate borders. The tapestries are now in the Uffizi Museum in Florence, Italy.

  • The Valois Tapestries are a series of eight large tapestries depicting festivities or "magnificences" held by Catherine de' Medici's Royal Courts in the second half of the 16th century. The tapestries were primarily modeled on drawings by Antoine Caron, but to Caron's distant views of large panoramas crowded with figures much larger portraits of leading persons at the French court have been added in the foreground, usually to the side, as well as elaborate borders. They were produced by teams of weavers in the Burgundian Netherlands, probably in Brussels or Antwerp, shortly after 1580. A number of great artists and artisans worked on the creation of these tapestries but today we are left with nothing but theories and speculation to their identities. Scholars such as Frances Yates and Jean Coural have developed nuanced theories backed by solid evidence to identify these unknown contributors, and also the political meaning of the tapestries, but research has yet to confirm many of these findings. These works display surprisingly intimate and personal moments within the royal inner circle clashing against the busy backdrops of these lavish festivals. The tapestries are now in the Uffizi Museum in Florence, Italy. (en)
  • De Valoistapijten (Frans: tapisseries des Valois of Fêtes des Valois) is een serie van acht wandtapijten, die in de jaren 1570 of 1580 geproduceerd werden in de Zuidelijke Nederlanden, waarschijnlijk in Brussel. Het ontstaan van de tapijten – formeel zonder titel, maar meestal aangeduid als Valoistapijten – is tot op heden in onzekerheid gehuld. Wel is duidelijk dat ze al kort na hun ontstaan onderdeel werden van de kunstcollectie van de Medici-familie, later van het Uffizimuseum in Florence. De tapijten vertegenwoordigen, naast hun kunsthistorische waarde, een grote historische waarde, vanwege de gedetailleerde afbeeldingen van festiviteiten aan het Franse hof en portretten van historische personen uit de tweede helft van de zestiende eeuw, met als centrale figuur de vermoedelijke opdrachtgeefster, Catharina de' Medici. De Valoistapijten, met hun connotatie van excessief hofleven, ridderlijkheid en politieke intrige, worden gerekend tot de meest ambitieuze ondernemingen uit de Europese renaissance. (nl)
  • As Tapeçarias Valois são uma série de oito tapeçarias retratando festas ou "magnificências", na corte da França na segunda metade do século XVI. As tapeçarias foram trabalhadas na Holanda Espanhola, provavelmente em Bruxelas ou Antuérpia, pouco depois de 1580. Estudiosos não firmam exatamente quem encomendou as tapeçarias ou para quem se destinam. É provável que eles foram uma vez possuídas por Catarina de Médici, mas eles não são incluídas no inventário de bens elaborados após sua morte. Ela provavelmente tinha os apresentado a sua neta Cristina de Lorena, para o casamento de Fernando I, Grão-Duque da Toscana, em 1589. As tapeçarias são armazenadas na Galleria Uffizi, em Florença, mas não estão em exibição pública. (pt)
