EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us to the mystical world of biblical prophecy. Created by Nicolas Bataille in the late 14th century, this tapestry captures a pivotal moment described in the Book of Revelation. In this scene, we witness an angel sounding the third trumpet as a magnificent star plummets from heaven. The star burns with intense brightness, resembling a blazing torch as it descends upon rivers and fountains. This celestial body is known as Wormwood, named after its bitter nature. The symbolism behind this artwork is profound. As the star contaminates one-third of Earth's water sources with bitterness, it represents divine punishment and impending doom. The toxic waters bring suffering and death to those who consume them. Bataille's intricate craftsmanship brings life to this apocalyptic vision through vibrant colors and meticulous details. Each thread woven into the tapestry tells a story of despair but also serves as a reminder for humanity to heed warnings and seek redemption. Displayed at Musee des Tapisseries in Angers, France, "The Third Trumpet and the Wormwood Star" continues to captivate viewers centuries later. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical testament reminding us of our fragile existence on Earth while urging us towards righteousness before it is too late.
