[en] This lecture aims to shed new light on the twelve-piece set purchased in 1535 by the governess of the Netherlands, Mary of Hungary, from the Dermoyen workshop in Brussels. It focuses on four main themes: the existing pieces and their iconography, the manufacture that woven them, the artists who provided the models to the weavers and finally the patron who chose the subject and gave these tapestries a precise function in her interior. [es] Este conferencia se propone arrojar una nueva luz sobre la serie de doce tapices que compró la gobernante de los antiguos Países Bajos, María de Hungría, en el taller bruselense Dermoyen. Se desarrollará en cuatro ejes principales : las piezas existentes y su iconografía, la manufactura que las tejó, los artistas que han proporcionado el modelo a los encargados de instalar los tejedores, y, por último, el comanditario que determinó el sujeto y dio a estas piezas una función precisa en sus interiores.
