EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from "The Third Trumpet and the Wormwood Star" an exquisite tapestry from "The Apocalypse of Angers". Created by the talented artist Nicolas Bataille during the late 14th century, this masterpiece is housed in the Musee des Tapisseries in Angers, France. In this particular scene, we witness a momentous event described in the Book of Revelation. The third angel sounds his trumpet, causing a great star to plummet from heaven like a blazing torch. This celestial body lands on one-third of the rivers and fountains of water, turning them into bitter wormwood. As depicted with remarkable skill and precision by Bataille, this catastrophic transformation brings death to many who consume these poisoned waters. This intricate tapestry not only captures our attention with its vibrant colors and meticulous details but also invites us to reflect upon profound biblical prophecies. It serves as a visual reminder of humanity's vulnerability and the consequences that may arise when we disregard nature's delicate balance. As we gaze at this extraordinary artwork, it is impossible not to be captivated by its rich symbolism and prophetic undertones. From absinthe associations to John's apocalyptic vision, every element within this composition holds deeper meaning waiting to be explored. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' exceptional preservation efforts, admirers can now cherish this stunning image for generations to come.
