EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a momentous scene from the Bayeux Tapestry, an iconic piece of artwork that tells the story of Duke William's preparation to sail to Pevensey. Created in the 11th century by English women, this wool embroidery on linen beautifully illustrates the events leading up to the Norman invasion and conquest of England. In this particular image, Duke William can be seen leading a party of knights towards the shore at Saint Valery before launching their fleet for the invasion. The tapestry showcases intricate details such as horseback riding, weaponry, and supplies being loaded onto boats. It is a vivid depiction of medieval life and warfare during that time. The Bayeux Tapestry holds great historical significance as it chronicles King Harold's death at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 and William's subsequent rise to power as King William I of England. This masterpiece serves as a testament to both artistic skill and storytelling prowess. Located at Musee de la Tapisserie in Bayeux, France, this embroidered textile stands as a remarkable example of Romanesque artistry. Its preservation throughout centuries allows us to delve into Anglo-Saxon history while marveling at its exquisite craftsmanship. This print from Bridgeman Images offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate this monumental artwork up close and relish in its rich historical context.
