EDITORS COMMENTS
The Resurrection of the Witnesses," a captivating scene from the Apocalypse of Angers tapestry series, is a masterpiece of International Gothic art created by Nicolas Bataille around 1375-1382. Commissioned by Louis I, Duke of Anjou, this sixth scene is a testament to the artistic brilliance of the period, showcasing intricate detail and vivid colors. The tapestry, which measures approximately 14.5 x 11.5 meters, is part of a larger series of ten scenes from the Book of Revelation. The Apocalypse of Angers is renowned for its innovative use of color and its horizontal composition, which sets it apart from traditional vertical compositions of the time. The Resurrection of the Witnesses depicts a dramatic moment from the Apocalypse where the four martyrs, Saint Lawrence, Saint Bartholomew, Saint Denis, and Saint Erasmus, rise from their graves in response to the trumpet call of the Archangel. The scene is filled with dynamic movement and intense emotion, as the witnesses embrace each other and look up to the heavens in awe and gratitude. The cartoons for this tapestry series were attributed to Jean de Bruges, a Flemish artist who was active in France during the late 14th century. The intricate designs were then woven by skilled artisans in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The resulting textiles are not only works of art but also important historical artifacts, providing valuable insights into the artistic and cultural traditions of the Middle Ages. This image is a stunning representation of the decorative arts during the medieval period, with its intricate patterns, rich colors, and intriguing narrative. The Resurrection of the Witnesses is a must-see for anyone interested in Western art history, textiles, or the Middle Ages.
