Nine panels of Brussels tapestries depicting scenes from the Acts of the Apostles, woven in the workshop of Jan Raes and Jacob Geubels after cartoons by Raphael (1483-1520), depicting: the Miraculous Draught of Fishes, Christ's charge to St. Peter, Peter and John at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple (healing the paralytic), the Death of Ananias, Elymas the Sorcerer struck blind before Sergius Paulus, the Sacrifice at Lystra, St Paul preaching at Athens, the Martyrdom of St Stephen and the Conversion of St Paul.

The working cartoons for this weaving would have been copied from the originals, or from copies of the originals, with several changes visible. The foliage and landscapes, for example, have been redrawn. Unusually, several of the scenes were woven in two parts, now joined. A second set by the same workshop is in the Spanish royal collection, in which some of the panels have been produced in the same way. The tapestries were repaired sometime between 1877 and 1905, when, presumably, the sections were joined. (Thomas P. Campbell, 2002.)

The original Raphael cartoons for the tapestries, acquired by Charles I in 1623, have been on loan to the Victoria & Albert Museum since 1865.
