EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Scene 14 of the Apocalypse of Angers tapestry series, created between 1375 and 1382. Commissioned by Louis I, Duke of Anjou, the tapestry is attributed to cartons designed by the renowned artist Jean de Bruges. The series is an exceptional example of International Gothic art, produced in the Pays de la Loire region of France, specifically in Angers. The scene depicted in this photograph is titled "The Worshiping of the Dragon," and it illustrates a significant moment from the Book of Revelation in the Bible. In this scene, the dragon, symbolizing Satan, is worshiped by a multitude of demons and pagan idolaters. The dragon's power and deception are on full display as he breathes fire and terror into the hearts of those who have forsaken their faith. The intricate details of the tapestry are truly remarkable, with vibrant colors and rich textures that bring the scene to life. The horizontal composition of the image, along with the use of color and shading, creates a sense of depth and movement that draws the viewer in. The Western artistic tradition during the medieval period was characterized by a focus on religious themes, and this tapestry series is no exception. The Apocalypse of Angers is a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the Middle Ages and continues to captivate viewers to this day.
