Image description

Three panels from a series of Mortlake tapestries depicting the Twelve Months, apparently based on Flemish designs. The months depicted are: January; May and June in two vertical scenes; and December, each within a wide border of swags, flowers, medallions in grisaille, Prince of Wales feathers and crowned C monogram. Commissioned by Charles I when Prince of Wales. In 1623, writing from Madrid, he directed that payment of £500 should be made for a set of tapestries commissioned by him at the Mortlake Tapestry Factory representing the Twelve Months. In the inventory of 1695 it is noted that this set was on semi-permanent loan from Hampton Court Palace to Windsor Castle.
