The Story of Abraham is a set of ten Brussels tapestries depicting stories from the life of the biblical prophet Abraham. They appear to have been designed by Bernaert van Orley initially, but completed by Pieter Coecke van Aelst around 1537, both artists who were leading designers for the Brussels workshops.

The Story of Abraham is a set of ten Brussels tapestries depicting stories from the life of the biblical prophet Abraham. They appear to have been designed by Bernaert van Orley initially, but completed by Pieter Coecke van Aelst around 1537, both artists who were leading designers for the Brussels workshops. Three sets survive. One set was delivered to Henry VIII of England in 1543; it now hangs in what was probably the original intended location, the Great Hall in Hampton Court Palace near London. Two other matching sets are known, one from the Spanish royal collection, now in Madrid and one in Vienna from the Austrian imperial collection; these sets do not feature the same gilt-thread, and their lower quality when compared to the Hampton Court set suggests that Henry's was the original weaving.
