EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning image captures the fifth scene from the Apocalypse of Angers tapestry series, created between 1375 and 1382 in France. Commissioned by Louis I, Duke of Anjou, after cartons attributed to Jean de Bruges, this masterpiece of International Gothic art depicts the angels receiving the golden vials, or bowls, filled with the Wrath of God. The apocalyptic scene unfolds in a horizontal composition, with the angels poised to distribute the divine punishment. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the tapestry bring the biblical narrative to life, transporting us back to the medieval period. The Apocalypse of Angers is a remarkable testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the Middle Ages, and this image of the angels receiving the bowls is a particularly captivating moment in the series. The tapestry is currently housed in Angers Castle in Maine-et-Loire, France, and continues to inspire awe and wonder in viewers from around the world.
