EDITORS COMMENTS
The Verbe of God, or The Word of God, fiercely charges against the beasts in this stunning scene from the Apocalypse of Angers tapestry series, created between 1375 and 1382. Commissioned by Louis I, Duke of Anjou, and designed after cartons attributed to Jean de Bruges, this masterpiece of International Gothic art is a testament to the rich artistic traditions of medieval France. Located in Angers Castle in Maine-et-Loire, France, this fourth scene of tapestry number 6 depicts the moment when the Word of God, represented as a radiant figure, unleashes a divine attack against the beasts that threaten the world. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the tapestry bring the apocalyptic scene to life, transporting viewers back to the Middle Ages. The Apocalypse of Angers series, which includes ten scenes, was created during the Western art's medieval period and is considered a significant work of the Middle Ages. The series is renowned for its innovative use of color and its intricate narrative, which is based on the biblical Book of Revelation. The tapestries were created during a time when tapestry-making was a highly skilled and labor-intensive art form, requiring the collaboration of many craftsmen and artists. The Verbe of God charge against the Beasts scene is a powerful reminder of the divine power and the struggle between good and evil. The intricate details of the tapestry, from the fierce expressions of the beasts to the delicate folds of the divine robes, invite viewers to explore the rich symbolism and intricacies of this masterpiece of medieval art.
