A mythological Soho tapestryLast quarter 17th century, England, after designs by Francis Cleyn (1582-1658)Designed with a scene from the story of Hero and Leander, the young Leander swimming the Hellespont to meet Hero who waits for him on the shore, the top border with floral garlanded swag decoration, the lower and upper border possibly altered at some point, 241cm high x 305cm wideFootnotes:Provenance: Browsholme Hall, Forest of Bowland, Lancashire.This tapestry originally formed part of a set of seven panels illustrating The Story of Hero and Leander. Leander, a youth from Abydos, a town on the Asian shore of the Hellespont, used to swim across the waters at night to Sestos to meet his lover Hero, a priestess of Aphrodite. Hero would light a lamp at the top of her tower to guide his way. One stormy winter night, the waves tossed Leander in the sea and the breezes blew out Hero's light. Leander lost his way and was drowned. Hero threw herself from the tower in grief and died as well.Francis Cleyn (1582-1658) supplied the designs for the series to the Mortlake manufactory in the late 1630s. Cleyn had trained in Italy before he moved to work at the Danish court - the influence of the Italian school is clear in his style. In 1624 he was summoned to London by Charles I and he remained in England until his death in 1658. The designs for Hero and Leander continued to be used throughout the 17th century by the Mortlake factory and were afterwards reproduced by the private workshops in Soho and Lambeth.Three tapestries from this series were sold at Christie's, London, 13 July 1967, lot 140. A set of five panels woven with gold and silver-thread form part of the Royal Swedish Collection. An additional set comprising four panels bearing the arms of Finch, Earls of Winchilsea and Nottingham, was sold at Christie's, London, 12 June 1947, lot 170.
