EDITORS COMMENTS
The Chosen: A Glimpse into the Apocalypse of Angers Tapestry by Nicolas Bataille This image is taken from the Apocalypse of Angers tapestry series, specifically scene number 2, created by Nicolas Bataille around 1375-1382. Commissioned by Louis I, Duke of Anjou, these tapestries were designed based on cartons attributed to Jean de Bruges. The international gothic masterpiece was created in the Pays de la Loire region of France, in the castles of Angers. The scene depicts a crowd of the chosen, standing in a horizontal group, their faces filled with a mix of awe, anticipation, and determination. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the textiles bring the biblical narrative to life, transporting us back to the medieval period. The Apocalypse of Angers tapestry series is a significant work of art from the western artistic tradition, showcasing the richness and complexity of the decorative arts during the middle ages. The intricate fabric weaving and color palette used in these tapestries are a testament to the skill and artistry of their creators. The Apocalypse of Angers tapestries are a unique and valuable contribution to the history of textiles and the study of medieval art. This image, in particular, offers a glimpse into the vivid and intriguing world of the chosen, as depicted in the Apocalypse of St. John the Divine. The tapestry's intricate design, rich colors, and historical significance make it a must-see for anyone interested in the art, history, or culture of the medieval period. This image is a reminder of the enduring power of art to transport us through time and offer insights into the human experience.
