EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from the Apocalypse of Angers tapestry series, created between 1375 and 1382 in France. Commissioned by Louis I, Duke of Anjou, the series was designed based on cartons attributed to Jean de Bruges, a renowned Flemish artist active during the International Gothic period. The scene depicted in this photograph is number 2 from the series, featuring St. John the Evangelist, as he is traditionally portrayed in the Apocalypse of John, eating a book. The Apocalypse of Angers is an exceptional collection of 13 tapestries that illustrate the biblical Book of Revelation. This particular scene is a striking representation of St. John's vision of the open scroll given to him by an angel. In this vision, St. John is instructed to eat the scroll, which is a symbol of prophecy and divine revelation. The intricate details of the tapestry, with its rich colors and vibrant textures, are characteristic of the International Gothic style. The horizontal composition of the image, combined with the use of color and the delicate textures of the fabric, create a sense of depth and movement. The Western artistic tradition during the Middle Ages and the Middle Ages was rich in symbolism and storytelling, and this tapestry is a testament to the decorative arts and textiles of the period. This photograph offers a glimpse into the intriguing world of medieval art and history, providing a window into the beliefs, values, and artistic sensibilities of the time. The Apocalypse of Angers tapestries are a valuable cultural heritage, and this image of St. John eating the book is a powerful reminder of the enduring legacy of the Middle Ages in Western art.
