Barberini tapestries to grace St John the Divine Cathedral
A dozen Barberini tapestries illustrating the life of Christ, crafted over 250 years ago in Rome under Cardinal Barberini, were presented by Mrs. William F. Coles to the Episcopal Cathedral of St. John the Divine. The 15.5 to 17 ft high works, once in the Barberini palace, depict scenes from the Annunciation to the Holy Land and bear heraldic cartouches. They are stored in a local safe-deposit facility and praised by an art expert for their preserved colors and devotional impact.
