The Battle of Pavia Tapestries

Join us for an exclusive talk on Renaissance tapestries with a De Young Museum docent.

Step into the magnificent world of Renaissance art and history as we host a special presentation on "The Triumph of Charles V: The Battle of Pavia Tapestries." This extraordinary exhibition, currently at the De Young Museum, marks the first time these monumental tapestries have been displayed in the United States.

A De Young Museum docent, who will guide you through:

  • Seven enormous tapestries, each measuring an impressive 27 by 14 feet
  • The intricate storytelling and political propaganda woven into these masterpieces
  • The groundbreaking artistic techniques used by court artist Bernard van Orley
  • The fascinating connection between these tapestries and 16th-century arms and armor

Discover how these awe-inspiring works commemorate Holy Roman Emperor Charles V's victory over French King Francis I in 1525, bringing Renaissance politics, technology, and fashion to life on a grand scale.

Learn about the remarkable collaboration between artists and weavers, with each panel taking over a year to produce. This presentation offers a unique opportunity to delve into the world of Renaissance tapestries – one of the most prized art forms of the era.
