This print shows a tense moment from an old story. It’s based on a giant cartoon by Raphael, the kind used to weave huge tapestries. The scene is from Acts in the Bible when locals think healed men are gods. They’re about to offer sacrifices before the men stop them. Check out the Raphael Cartoons next at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
