The Royal Family\u2019s official Instagram account on Thursday spotlighted the \u201cRaphael Cartoons\u201d originally purchased by Charles I when he was Prince of Wales in the 17th century.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The post comes shortly after King Charles and Queen Camilla\u2019s visit to the Vatican.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Royal Family\u2019s account noted that the seven surviving cartoons have been part of the Royal Collection since 1623 and are on long-term loan to the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to a statement on Royal Collection Trust, Raphael and his studio created ten cartoons as full-scale designs for tapestries known as the Acts of the Apostles.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The woven tapestries were commissioned by Pope Leo X for the Vatican\u2019s Sistine Chapel.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Three of Raphael\u2019s preparatory studies for the cartoons also belong to the Royal Collection, underscoring the enduring connection between the British monarchy and the Renaissance master\u2019s legacy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Royal Collection Trust, which manages the artworks, described the cartoons as \u201camong the greatest treasures of the Italian Renaissance.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"King Charles and Queen Camilla\u00a0 The Royal Family\u2019s official Instagram account on Thursday spotlighted the \u201cRaphael Cartoons\u201d originally…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":522405,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7709,7730,7731,1760,7710,519],"class_list":{"0":"post-522404","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-british-royal-family","9":"tag-charles","10":"tag-charles-iii","11":"tag-king-charles","12":"tag-royal-families","13":"tag-royal-family"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115424023955264349","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/522404","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=522404"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/522404\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/522405"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=522404"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=522404"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=522404"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
