EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the famous "Attack on the Town of Dinan" section of the Bayeux Tapestry, a remarkable piece of wool embroidery on linen dating back to the 11th century. Created by English women, possibly from Kent, under Norman instruction, this textile masterpiece depicts the events leading up to and including the Norman invasion and conquest of England in 1066. The scene depicted captures a pivotal moment during Duke William of Normandy's campaign as his army sets fire to Dinan Castle where Duke Conan of Brittany has sought refuge. In an act of surrender, Conan offers William the keys to the town. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this historical event to life, showcasing medieval warfare and capturing both sides' determination. The Bayeux Tapestry is not only a testament to exceptional needlework but also serves as an invaluable historical document.
