Heraldic tapestry with Medici and Della Rovere coat of arms in wool and silk from 1657-1669

Summary[edit]

Description
Italiano: Arazzo araldico con stemma Medici e Della Rovere (Sovrapporta o portiera) datato 1657-1669, dal disegno e cartone di Agostino Melissi (?) e realizzato in lana e seta da Pietro Fèvére (?).

L'arazzo è conservato al Museo Nazionale di Palazzo Reale a Pisa.

Lo stemma, sormontato dalla corona granducale, è diviso in due parti, nelle quali sono rappresentate rispettivamente le insegne delle famiglie Medici e Della Rovere. Nel 1634 venne celebrato il matrimonio tra Ferdinando II de' Medici e la giovanissima Vittoria Della Rovere: dai documenti l'arazzo non sembra essere stato realizzato per l'occasione, ma è testimonianza del vincolo di parentela dei due casati.

Ai lati dello stemma puttini tra frutta, nastri e foglie. L'arazzo risulta frammentario, privato in antico dei lati e della parte inferiore.
English: Heraldic tapestry with the Medici and Della Rovere coat of arms dated 1657-1669, from a drawing and cartoon by Agostino Melissi (?) and made in wool and silk by Pietro Fèvére (?).

The tapestry is kept in the Museo Nazionale di Palazzo Reale in Pisa.

The coat of arms, surmounted by the grand ducal crown, is divided into two parts, in which the insignia of the Medici and Della Rovere families are represented respectively. In 1634, the marriage between Ferdinando II de' Medici and the very young Vittoria Della Rovere was celebrated. From the documents, the tapestry does not seem to have been made for the occasion, but it is evidence of the kinship between the two families.

On either side of the coat of arms are cherubs among fruit, ribbons and leaves. The tapestry is fragmentary, deprived in ancient times of the sides and lower part.
