New Worshiping of the Beast
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating scene from the Apocalypse of Angers tapestry series, created between 1372 and 1382. Commissioned by Louis I, Duke of Anjou, the tapestry is a masterpiece of International Gothic art, housed in Angers Castle, Maine-et-Loire, France. The second scene of the fourth tapestry in the series, this artwork is attributed to cartons designed by Jean de Bruges, a renowned artist of the late 14th century. The intricately woven textile depicts the New Worshiping of the Beast, an episode from the Book of Revelation. In this scene, the Beast, a monstrous figure with the body of a lion, the wings of an eagle, and the head of a man, is being worshiped by a multitude of people. The Beast stands atop a mountain of corpses, while the crowd below bows in submission, offering their adoration and devotion. The Western artistic tradition during the Middle Ages was rich in symbolism, and this tapestry is no exception. The Beast represents the Antichrist, a false messiah who deceives the world before the Second Coming of Christ. The New Worshiping of the Beast tapestry is a stunning example of the decorative arts during the medieval period. Its intricate design, vibrant colors, and rich textures transport us back to a time when textiles were a primary means of artistic expression. The horizontal composition, with its dynamic contrasts between light and dark, adds to the overall dramatic effect of the scene. This artwork is a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the Middle Ages and a reminder of the enduring power of religious art in shaping the visual language of Western civilization. The New Worshiping of the Beast tapestry continues to captivate and inspire viewers with its intricate details, rich symbolism, and historical significance.
