South Netherlandish family of tapestry weavers. Pieter de Pannemaker ( fl 1517–32), like Pieter Coecke van Aelst, furnished the palaces of Europe with sumptuous tapestries in gold and silver threads and expensively dyed fine silks and wools from his shop in Brussels. In 1520 Pieter de Pannemaker contracted Bernard van Orley to make tapestry cartoons for his shop. A lovely fragment, probably designed by Bernard and woven by Pieter, shows an Allegory of the Four Winds (Paris, Mus. Cluny). Margaret of Austria, Regent of the southern Netherlands, bought a series of the Passion in four scenes (Madrid, Patrm. N.); two similar sets by de Pannemaker are connected to a drawing by van Orley (Stuttgart, Staatsgal.). In 1523 Margaret ordered a magnificent dais of three tapestries from Pieter, later used in the abdication ceremony of Emperor Charles V. In 1527 Pieter de Pannemaker and van Orley, with ten other weavers, appeared before the Inquisition at Leuven, charged with sheltering a Protestant preacher. Pieter was fined, but by 1532 he was sending rich tapestries to Francis I of France.
