Like its French counterpart the Gobelins Manufactory, the Royal Tapestry Factory supplied the court with tapestries. While still in his 20s the painter Francisco Goya was commissioned to provide designs (known as cartoons[1]) for tapestries to furnish El Escorial and El Pardo, two of the palaces in the Madrid region.[2] Many of the Goya tapestry cartoons are displayed at the Museo del Prado.
