EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Number of the Beast" a remarkable tapestry from the Apocalypse of Angers, created between 1373 and 1387. Crafted by Nicolas Bataille, a renowned artist during the late medieval period, this textile masterpiece is housed in the Musee des Tapisseries in Angers, France. "The Number of the Beast" depicts an intriguing scene inspired by the Book of Revelation. At its center stands John the Evangelist, who witnesses a fearsome creature with multiple heads emerging from beneath his feet. This monstrous being symbolizes Satan himself and is often associated with evil and chaos. The tapestry's intricate details are truly mesmerizing; every stitch brings to life elements such as leopard-like spots on one head and horns protruding from another. The vivid colors used throughout add depth and intensity to this Gothic artwork. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era when religious narratives were brought to life through stunning textiles like these. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and spiritual devotion prevalent during that period. "The Number of the Beast" invites us to contemplate themes of good versus evil, reminding us that even amidst darkness there can be hope for redemption. This photograph preserves not only an exquisite work of art but also a piece of history that continues to captivate viewers today.
