| The tapestry of The Dismissal of the Lictors was made in Brussels between 1616 and 1643 at the manufactory of Jan Raes the Younger after a cartoon by Peter Paul Rubens. Made of wool, silk and gold thread, it is signed on the right-hand side with the monogram of Jan Raes the Younger and also bears the Brussels mark.
In addition to this tapestry Prince Johann II von Liechtenstein also acquired four others belonging to a cycle of tapestries based on cartoons by Rubens in Venice in 1870. |
