The Sistine Chapel is most famous for Michelangelo's frescoes, as well as those by Botticelli, Perugino, Ghirlandaio, and Rosselli. Raphael's contribution, the sumptuous tapestries he designed showing the lives of Peter and Paul, have attracted less attention. Join Professor Lisa Pon, John Rylands Research Institute Visiting Research Fellow, for a reconsideration of these tapestries in terms of their impact not only on the pre-existing paintings, but also on the spoken and sung rituals that took place in the Sistine Chapel.
