The Angel with the Censer before the Throne
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating scene from the Apocalypse of Angers tapestry series, created between 1375 and 1382. Commissioned by Louis I, Duke of Anjou, the series was designed after cartons attributed to Jean de Bruges, a renowned Flemish artist active during the International Gothic period. This particular tapestry, number 2 in the series, depicts an angel standing before the throne, holding a censer aloft. The Apocalypse of Angers is a significant work of art from the Middle Ages, showcasing intricate details and vibrant colors. The scene is set against a rich, horizontal background, with the angel dressed in flowing robes and wings spread wide. The censer he holds is adorned with intricate designs and precious stones, adding to the overall grandeur of the image. The Apocalypse of Angers series was created for the Chateau d'Angers in France, in the Pays de la Loire region of Maine-et-Loire. The tapestries were designed to illustrate the biblical text of the Apocalypse of St. John, and were a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the time. The Angel with the Censer before the Throne is a striking representation of the celestial beings depicted in the Apocalypse, and serves as a reminder of the intricate artistic techniques and rich symbolism of the medieval period. The tapestry's vibrant colors and intricate details continue to captivate viewers, making it a valuable piece of Western art history.
