The English Turn in Flight - A Glimpse into the Norman Conquest
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, the Bayeux Tapestry. Created in the 11th century by an unknown artist, this wool embroidery on linen depicts the events leading to the Norman invasion and conquest of England. The tapestry vividly captures a pivotal moment after King Harold's death at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Intricately sewn by English women, possibly from Kent, under a Norman brief, this textile masterpiece portrays scenes of defeat and retreat. The image reveals soldiers with swords fleeing from pursuing Normans on horseback. Bloodshed and carnage are depicted through severed limbs and fallen warriors strewn across the fabric. The tapestry's border decoration features zoomorphic designs intertwined with scenes of battle and victory. It is a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance. Displayed at Musee de la Tapisserie in Bayeux, France, this embroidered narrative serves as a visual chronicle of William the Conqueror's triumph over King Harold's Anglo-Saxon army. Through its detailed craftsmanship and emotive imagery, it offers us insight into one of Europe's most significant turning points. As we gaze upon this powerful artwork captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back to that fateful day when England was forever changed by war and conquest.
