The Fifth Trumpet and the Locusts
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that depicts an intricate tapestry known as "The Apocalypse of Angers". Created by Nicolas Bataille in 1373-87, this masterpiece resides in the Musee des Tapisseries in Angers, France. The image showcases a pivotal moment from the Book of Revelation, where the fifth angel sounds his trumpet and a star falls from heaven to earth. Intriguingly, this fallen star possesses the key to the bottomless pit. As it opens, swarms of locust-like creatures emerge with astonishing power and ferocity. These insectoid beings resemble horses prepared for battle, adorned with golden crowns upon their heads. Their faces bear an uncanny resemblance to those of men. The tapestry's rich colors and meticulous details bring this apocalyptic vision to life. It captures both awe-inspiring beauty and foreboding darkness simultaneously. The figure of John the Evangelist stands witness to this surreal spectacle, his wings symbolizing divine intervention amidst chaos. Commissioned by Louis of Anjou centuries ago, these tapestries continue to captivate viewers today with their profound symbolism and artistic brilliance. They serve as a reminder of humanity's fascination with prophecy and our eternal quest for understanding what lies beyond our mortal realm. This print allows us to appreciate Bataille's masterful craftsmanship while contemplating themes such as faith, destiny, and the enigmatic nature of existence itself.
