EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 14th century tapestry, titled "The Seven Churches of Asia" by Nicolas Bataille, is a masterpiece of International Gothic art from the Apocalypse of Angers series. Commissioned by Louis I, Duke of Anjou in the late 14th century, the tapestry is a visual interpretation of the biblical Book of Revelation, specifically the second scene from the series. The scene depicts St. John, the author of the Apocalypse, announcing the revelation to believers of the Roman province of Asia. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the tapestry bring the biblical narrative to life. Each church is represented with unique architectural features, reflecting the diverse cultural influences of the region. The tapestry is believed to have been designed from cartons attributed to Jean de Bruges, a renowned Flemish artist of the time. This horizontal tapestry, now housed in Angers Castle in Maine-et-Loire, France, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Middle Ages and continues to captivate viewers with its intricate design and historical significance.
