EDITORS COMMENTS
The Seventh Trumpet: Announcement of Victory" is a captivating scene from the Apocalypse of Angers tapestry series, created between 1375 and 1382. Commissioned by Louis I, Duke of Anjou, this masterpiece is attributed to the Flemish artist Jean de Bruges and is an exceptional example of International Gothic art. The seventh scene of the third tapestry in this series showcases the moment described in the Book of Revelation when the seventh angel sounds the seventh trumpet, announcing the coming of God's final judgment. The scene is filled with dynamic energy and vivid detail. A group of angels, dressed in flowing robes and adorned with wings, gather around the figure of the seventh angel, who raises his trumpet to his lips. The blast from the trumpet sends a ripple effect through the heavens, with rays of light radiating outwards. The colors and textures of the tapestry are rich and intricate, adding to its visual impact. The use of horizontal composition and the careful attention to detail in the depiction of the angels' faces and robes demonstrate the skill and artistry of the artist. This scene is a testament to the decorative arts of the medieval period and the enduring influence of the Middle Ages on Western art history. The Apocalypse of Angers tapestry series is a significant cultural and historical treasure, and this seventh scene is a particularly striking example of the power and beauty of medieval art. It is a reminder of the intricate and imaginative worldview of the Middle Ages and the enduring impact of religious themes on artistic expression. This tapestry is currently housed in Angers Castle in Maine-et-Loire, France, and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history and art of the Middle Ages.
