After more than sixty years it will be possible to admire, from April 2 to August 30, 2015, in the outdoor Pavilion of the Violin Museum in Cremona, the famous cycle of tapestries dedicated to the “Stories of Samson”.
In addition to these 12 majestic tapestries (7 of which have been restored) made in the Counter-Reformation period by Jan Raes, a painter and upholsterer from Brussels with the need to decorate the Cathedral of Cremona, there will also be two other tapestries: those ones belong to another cycle of the stories of Jesus, which has largely gone dispersed.
This is an impressive exhibition of sumptuous fabrics with a total surface of at least twenty square meters each. Some of them reach even forty square meters, for a total of over four hundred square meters of finely woven fabrics on display.
Seri-Art, Member of the Violin Museum Friends, fitted the Pavillion. The company prepared and affixed the descriptions, the three banners at the entrance and the posters attached in the city.
