EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Second and Third Vials Poured into the Sea and the Waters" a remarkable tapestry from "The Apocalypse of Angers" series created between 1373-87. Crafted by the talented artist Nicolas Bataille, this medieval masterpiece is housed in the Musee des Tapisseries in Angers, France. In this particular scene, we witness two pivotal moments described in the Book of Revelations. The second vial poured into the sea turns its waters into blood, resulting in a devastating loss of marine life. This haunting transformation serves as a powerful symbol of divine punishment and impending doom. Continuing with an even more chilling effect, the third vial is poured out upon rivers and fountains, causing them to also turn into blood. This escalation intensifies both visually and metaphorically, emphasizing that no aspect of nature can escape these apocalyptic events. The tapestry's intricate details bring these biblical scenes to life. From heavenly angels gracefully pouring out their vials to John the Apostle observing these cataclysmic events unfold before him – every element contributes to creating an atmosphere filled with awe and foreboding. With its Gothic style and rich symbolism, this artwork not only reflects religious beliefs prevalent during its creation but also invites contemplation on themes such as divine justice and humanity's relationship with nature. As viewers engage with this photo print, they are transported back centuries ago to experience firsthand one chapter within "The Apocalypse of Angers. "
