7 Sacrifice of Lystra Tapestry in Vianden, Luxembourg

In 1519, Italian Renaissance artist Raphael created ten tapestries that portrayed scenes from the Acts of Apostles to adorn the Sistine Chapel. Soon, European rulers had them copied like this 16th century one displayed at Château de Vianden. It shows St. Peter and Barnabas who, shortly after curing a cripple (on the left) are preventing a crowd from slaughtering an oxen because they believed they were Jupiter and Mercury.
