EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable tapestry titled "Hanging of Revelation" created by Nicolas Bataille in the 14th century. The intricate artwork, displayed at the Musee des Tapisseries in Angers, France, depicts two contrasting scenes from Christian mythology. The upper part of the tapestry portrays a fearsome beast with seven heads, symbolizing evil and chaos as described in the Book of Revelation. Its menacing presence evokes a sense of impending doom and serves as a reminder of humanity's eternal struggle against darkness. In stark contrast, the lower section presents "The sleep of the righteous" depicting an angelic scene filled with tranquility and serenity. Here we witness a child peacefully sleeping amidst heavenly figures that watch over him. This imagery alludes to themes of faith, innocence, and divine protection during times of turmoil. Nicolas Bataille's mastery is evident through his meticulous attention to detail and skillful use of color. The tapestry transports viewers back to medieval times when religious art played a significant role in society. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print captured by Photo Josse, we are reminded not only of our shared human history but also how art can transcend time and connect us to profound spiritual narratives. It invites contemplation on themes such as faith, hope, and salvation while showcasing the rich cultural heritage preserved within museums like Musee De La Tapestry in Angers.
