EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Measurement of the Temple, no. 29 from The Apocalypse of Angers" a remarkable tapestry created by Nicolas Bataille in 1373-87. Housed at the Musee des Tapisseries in Angers, France, this masterpiece depicts a scene inspired by the Book of Revelation. In this image, we witness Saint John receiving divine instructions from an angel. With his finger pointing and gesturing towards architectural elements, the angel guides John as he measures and observes with great concentration. This moment captures both the spiritual significance and practicality behind measuring the sacred temple. The intricate details within this artwork transport us back to medieval times when tapestries were not only decorative but also served didactic purposes. Through its rich colors and meticulous craftsmanship, it brings to life an ancient biblical narrative that continues to captivate audiences today. "The Measurement of the Temple" invites viewers to contemplate themes such as revelation, faith, and architecture's role in religious symbolism. It serves as a reminder that art has long been used as a medium for storytelling and conveying profound messages across generations. As we gaze upon this stunning print captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded of our shared human history and how art can transcend time to connect us with past cultures while inspiring contemplation about our own place within the grand tapestry of existence.
