EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from the Apocalypse of Angers tapestry, a masterpiece of International Gothic art created between 1375 and 1382. Commissioned by Louis I, Duke of Anjou, the tapestry series was based on cartons attributed to Jean de Bruges, a renowned artist active during the late 14th century. The second scene depicted in this image represents the second vial being poured out upon the sea by the Archangel Michael, as described in the Book of Revelation. The golden vial, or bowl, is filled with the Wrath of God, symbolizing divine retribution. The apocalyptic scene unfolds as the angel pours the contents of the vial into the sea, causing it to turn into blood and bringing forth a multitude of sea creatures and demons. This intricately detailed tapestry, which is now housed in Angers Castle in Maine-et-Loire, France, is a testament to the artistic and religious sensibilities of the medieval period. The Apocalypse of Angers series, with its vivid imagery and biblical narrative, continues to fascinate scholars and art enthusiasts alike, offering a glimpse into the rich artistic and historical heritage of Western civilization.
