EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the fifth scene from the Apocalypse of Angers tapestry series, created between 1375 and 1382 in Angers, France. Commissioned by Louis I, Duke of Anjou, the series was based on cartons attributed to Jean de Bruges. The fifth scene, titled "Fifth Trumpet. The Locusts," depicts the infernal locusts led by the Exterminating Angel. The scene is a striking representation of the biblical apocalypse as described in the Book of Revelation. The locusts, with the appearance of horses, are described as having scorpion-like tails and the power to torment those who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. In this tapestry, the locusts are portrayed as dark, menacing figures with long, spindly legs and sharp, pointed tails. The Exterminating Angel, a figure of great terror and destruction, is depicted at the center of the scene, leading the charge of the locusts. His wings are spread wide, and his face is twisted in a fierce expression. The overall effect is one of chaos and destruction, with the locusts swarming over the landscape, tormenting the living. This tapestry is an excellent example of International Gothic art, with its intricate details, rich colors, and dynamic composition. The use of horizontal color bands adds depth and texture to the image, making it a stunning work of art from the medieval period. The Apocalypse of Angers series is a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the Middle Ages, and this scene in particular is a powerful reminder of the enduring power of biblical imagery in Western art history.
