EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment from "The Dragon Fighting with the Servants of God" a tapestry dating back to the late 14th century. Created by Nicolas Bataille, this masterpiece is part of the Apocalypse of Angers series housed in the Musee des Tapisseries in Angers, France. In this scene, we witness an epic battle between good and evil as depicted in the Book of Revelation. The seven-headed dragon, emblematic of Satan himself, unleashes its fury upon the brave servants of God. Armed with swords and spears, these valiant figures fight fearlessly against this monstrous creature. Saint John the Evangelist stands prominently at the forefront, leading his fellow apostles into battle. Their determination is palpable as they engage in a life-or-death struggle against this fantastic beast. The tapestry's intricate details bring to life every element - from their flowing robes to each scale on the dragon's body. Symbolizing both violence and hope for salvation, this biblical scene holds profound significance within Christian theology. It serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos and destruction, faith can empower individuals to confront evil head-on. Through this remarkable artwork captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back to medieval times when tales of apocalyptic battles were woven into fabric masterpieces like these tapestries. This print allows us to appreciate not only its historical context but also its artistic brilliance that continues to inspire awe centuries later.
