EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate tapestry titled "Hanging of Revelation (1373-1383), No. 6 and No. 10" by Nicolas Bataille, a renowned artist from the 14th century. The tapestry is housed in the Musee De La Tapestry in Angers, France. The image captures two distinct scenes within the tapestry. In No. 6 high, we witness Saint John's despair as he cries for his inability to open a sacred book, while an old man consoles him with wisdom and guidance. This moment symbolizes human frustration when faced with divine mysteries. In contrast, No. 10 low depicts Death leaving behind a place of suffering as he rides away on his horseman steed. This scene signifies the end of earthly torment and suggests that liberation awaits beyond mortal existence. Bataille's mastery is evident in this remarkable artwork that explores themes such as religion, Christian beliefs about heaven and hell, and apocalyptic visions prevalent during the Middle Ages. The photograph itself was taken by ePhoto Josse and falls under public domain due to its age; it offers us a glimpse into this historical masterpiece without any commercial use intentions. As viewers engage with this image print, they are transported back in time to appreciate Bataille's skillful craftsmanship while contemplating profound theological concepts intertwined within each thread of this magnificent tapestry.
