Angeli Laudantes Tapestry: A Glimpse into Eton College Chapel's Ornate History This exquisite photograph captures the Angeli Laudantes Tapestry, a magnificent work of art that graces the walls of Eton College Chapel. Dated back to 1905, this tapestry was meticulously woven from a design by the renowned artist and designer, Burne-Jones, which was originally conceived in 1894. The tapestry's central focus is the ethereal depiction of two angels, their serene faces radiant with divine grace as they play their harps. The angels are surrounded by an abundance of vibrant flowers, their petals unfurling in a riot of color. The scene is further adorned with decorative shields, delicately hung from the branches of trees, adding an intriguing layer of detail and mystery. The foliage in this masterpiece was designed by the accomplished artist John Henry Dearle, whose deft hand brought the natural world to life with stunning realism. The interplay of light and shadow, the delicate intertwining of branches, and the rich textures of the leaves all contribute to the tapestry's breathtaking beauty. The Angeli Laudantes Tapestry is a testament to the artistic vision and craftsmanship of its creators. It is a visual feast for the eyes, a reminder of the rich history and tradition that Eton College Chapel holds within its hallowed walls. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to marvel at the artistry and beauty that continues to inspire and captivate us to this day.
