EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the renowned Bayeux tapestry, also known as the Embroidery of Queen Mathilde. Created in 1077 by an unknown artist during the 11th century, this masterpiece is housed in the Musee de la Tapisserie in Bayeux, France. In this particular section of the tapestry, we witness a significant historical moment: the messengers of Duke Guillaume (William) arrive to find Guy de Ponthieu. The composition showcases intricate details and vivid colors that bring to life this medieval encounter. The image portrays several elements that define this era: armored knights on horseback, their swords at their sides; a messenger holding a scroll with Latin inscriptions; and farm animals grazing peacefully nearby. These visual cues provide us with glimpses into both military and everyday life during medieval times. The Bayeux tapestry itself is not only an artistic marvel but also serves as an invaluable historical document. It narrates events leading up to William I's conquest of England in 1066, providing insights into one of Europe's most pivotal moments. Leonard de Selva skillfully captured this photograph, allowing viewers to appreciate the artistry and significance behind each stitch within the tapestry. Through his lens, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand these messengers' journey and witness history unfold before our eyes.
