EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating scene from the Apocalypse of Angers tapestry series, is a masterpiece of 14th-century artistry created by Nicolas Bataille. Commissioned by Louis I, Duke of Anjou, the tapestry dates back to 1375-1382 and is attributed to cartons designed by Jean de Bruges. This exquisite work is the sixth trumpet scene from the series, which was produced in the International Gothic style in the Pays de la Loire region of France, specifically in Angers. The intricate and vibrant tapestry depicts a biblical scene from the Book of Revelation, where angels are releasing the fourth angel to sound the sixth trumpet. The angels are shown with wings outstretched, their faces expressive and intense, as they prepare to unleash the destructive forces of the Euphrates River. The scene is filled with a sense of urgency and chaos, with swirling clouds and turbulent waters adding to the overall effect. The tapestry is a testament to the skill and artistry of the medieval period, with intricate details and rich colors that bring the scene to life. The use of horizontal composition and the focus on the angels and the Euphrates River create a dynamic and visually striking image. The Apocalypse of Angers series is a significant contribution to Western art history, and this particular scene, "The Angels of the Euphrates," is a standout example of the beauty and complexity of medieval textiles and decorative arts.
