Heraldic tapestry with Medici coat of arms
Summary edit
| Description |
Italiano: Arazzo araldico con stemma Medici di Alessandro Rosi (disegno e cartone), Matteo Benvenuti (tessitura), 1693-1698.
L'arazzo proviene dalla tessitura di uno stesso modello, replicata in più esemplari con piccole varianti. Lo stemma della famiglia Medici, rappresentato da uno scudo a fondo oro su cui si stagliano sei bisanti (cinque rossi e quello superiore azzurro con tre gigli di Francia dorati, concessi come onorificenza nel 1465 dal re di Francia Luigi XI a Piero il Gottoso) deriva, probabilmente, da quello dell'Arte del Cambio a cui la famiglia era legata per la propria attività lavorativa.
English: Heraldic tapestry with Medici coat of arms by Alessandro Rosi (design and cartoon), Matteo Benvenuti (weaving), 1693-1698.
The tapestry comes from the weaving of the same model, replicated in several examples with small variations. The coat-of-arms of the Medici family, represented by a shield with a gold background on which stand six bisants (five red and the upper one blue with three gilded fleurs-de-lis of France, granted as an honour in 1465 by the King of France Louis XI to Piero il Gottoso) probably derives from that of the Arte del Cambio to which the family was linked for its work. |
