A scholarly article on the set of eight sixteenth-century French tapestries of the Story of Diana that belonged to Diane de Poitiers and were associated with the Château d'Anet. It covers their provenance, border emblems and cartouche verses, scenes drawn from Ovid, related drawings and engravings by Luca Penni, Étienne Delaune and the Cousins, and the arguments for attributing the designs to Jean Cousin the Elder through comparison with the St. Mamas tapestries at Langres. A short section on weaving covers wool and silk high-warp technique and possible weavers and workshops at Fontainebleau. Illustrated with many black-and-white plates and footnotes.
