'The miraculous Draught of Fishes', 'St Paul preaching at Athens', 'Sts Peter and John at the beautiful Gate', 'Elymas', 'Sts Paul and Barnabas at Lystra', 'Christ's Charge to St Peter' and 'The Death of Ananias' are full-size copies of seven of ten cartoons made by Raphael (1483–1525) and his assistants in 1515–1516 for a set of tapestries to hang in the Sistine Chapel. The subject illustrates episodes from the Acts of the Apostles. The originals (V&A, London, on loan from the Royal Collection) were brought to England in the 1620s and were installed in a gallery in Hampton Court Palace in 1699. The copies were attributed in the nineteenth century to the minor painter, Henry Cooke (1642–1700), probably on account of a passage in Walpole's 'Anecdotes', which describes a set of copies made by Cooke when he was hired by William III to repair the original cartoons in the 1690s.
