acted against brussels courts destined finest formal gold knowing leading life pride produced producing quality reflects side sort stage tapestry theatrical time weaving
This was not the very finest quality of weaving with gold thread, of the kind that was being produced for the leading courts of the day by the Brussels workshops. Rather, it reflects the sort of medium-quality tapestries that the Florence workshops were producing at this time for use in the Medici palaces.

It was the whole stage set against which the formal side of life was acted out.
