EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Bayeux Tapestry, a remarkable piece of art that depicts the events leading to the Norman invasion and conquest of England in 1066. Created by English women, possibly from Kent, under a Norman brief, this wool embroidery on linen is a testament to their skill and dedication. In this particular scene captured in the tapestry, Count Guy leads Harold (1022-66), who would later become King Harold II of England, to meet William, Duke of Normandy (1027-87) at Eu. The meeting between these two powerful figures was a crucial moment that would shape the course of history. The tapestry itself is an intricate masterpiece filled with rich details and symbolism.
