The Destruction of the Children of Niobe from a set of The Horses. Culture: British, probably Mortlake. Designer: Frans Cleyn (German, Rostock 1582-1658 London). Dimensions: Overall: 152 × 232 (386.1 × 589.3 cm). Maker: Probably made at Mortlake Tapestry Manufactory (British, 1619-1703). Date: ca. 1650-70.This tapestry depicts the gods Apollo and Diana killing the children of Niobe as a punishment for the affront that Niobe had caused their mother, Latona. The set from which this panel derived was known as "The Horses" because the mythological subjects were a thinly veiled pretext to depict a sequence of splendid horses in dynamic action. The designs were created by Francis Cleyn, a native of Rostock who worked at the Danish court before traveling to England in the early 1620s. He was appointed official designer to the Mortlake tapestry works in 1625, and during the following decade provided a sequence of new design series, including "The Horses."
