EDITORS COMMENTS
The Sleep of the Just," scene 11 of the Apocalypse of Angers tapestry series, is a stunning representation of the peaceful slumber of the righteous souls, as depicted by the 14th-century artist Nicolas Bataille. Commissioned by Louis I, Duke of Anjou, this masterpiece was created between 1375 and 1382, and is one of the most exquisite works of the International Gothic period. The tapestry, housed in Angers Castle in Maine-et-Loire, France, is a testament to the artistic and historical significance of this era. The scene portrays a serene group of the just, peacefully sleeping amidst a vibrant and colorful landscape. The Western artistic tradition, with its emphasis on realism and detail, is evident in the intricately woven fabric, which brings the figures and their surroundings to life. The textile's horizontal composition adds to the sense of tranquility and harmony, reflecting the peaceful slumber of the depicted souls. The Apocalypse of Angers series, consisting of ten tapestries, was based on cartoons attributed to Jean de Bruges, a renowned Flemish artist. These cartoons served as the blueprint for the weavers, who expertly translated the designs into the intricate and detailed tapestries. The series, which also includes scenes of the Apocalypse, the Last Judgment, and the Dance of Death, is a remarkable example of the decorative arts during the Middle Ages. The Sleep of the Just is a captivating work of art that invites viewers to contemplate the peaceful rest of the righteous souls before their eventual resurrection. This tapestry, with its intricate details and rich colors, is a testament to the artistic and historical importance of the Middle Ages and the enduring influence of the Gothic tradition.
