Tapetum Concordiae: Peter Heymans Bildteppich fur Philipp I. von Pommern und die Tradition der von Mose getragenen Kanzeln - 1

Peter Heyman’s large tapestry of 1554 depicts members of the Saxon princely and ducal houses and the Pomeranian ducal house as well as Luther, Melanchthon and Bugenhagen. This study interprets the tapestry as an example of political iconography and relates it to the controversy between “true” Lutherans and Philippists.
