EDITORS COMMENTS
The Apocalypse Tapestries of Angers: A Gothic Masterpiece Unveiled in Detail The Apocalypse Tapestries of Angers, created between 1375 and 1379, are a remarkable and intricately woven testament to the artistic and religious fervor of the late Middle Ages. This detailed image, taken from the series, showcases a scene from Chapter 17 of the Apocalypse of St. John, specifically the representation of the Whore of Babylon. The scene unfolds in an outdoor setting, bathed in the warm, golden light of a sunlit day. In the foreground, St. John, clad in red and white robes, stands in awe as an angel, depicted in bold, contrasting colors, reveals the Whore of Babylon to him. The whore is shown as an imposing figure, draped in rich, red robes adorned with golden decorations and a crown of seven heads and ten horns, symbolizing the seven deadly sins and the ten kings of the earth. This exquisite tapestry, a masterpiece of Gothic art, was created in the city of Angers, France, and is now proudly displayed at the Angers Tapestry Museum. The intricate weaving and vibrant colors bring the biblical story to life, providing a fascinating glimpse into the artistic and religious sensibilities of the late Middle Ages. The horizontal composition of the image, the rich use of color, and the attention to detail all serve to transport the viewer back in time, offering a unique and captivating window into the past.
