EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail from "The Second Trumpet and the Shipwreck" part of the renowned tapestry series known as The Apocalypse of Angers. Created by Nicolas Bataille in 1373-87, this masterpiece is housed in the Musee des Tapisseries in Angers, France. In this particular scene, we witness the devastating consequences of the second trumpet's blast as it unleashes chaos upon the sea. As prophesied in the Book of Revelations (8:8), fire is cast into the waters, turning them into blood. The artist skillfully portrays this apocalyptic event by depicting numerous ships sinking amidst tumultuous waves. The level of detail captured in this print is truly remarkable. Each vessel seems to be fighting its own battle against nature's wrath, with some already succumbing to their watery graves while others desperately cling on for dear life. The sense of destruction and despair permeates through every brushstroke. Notably, Bataille's composition showcases various types of boats - from larger vessels resembling tugboats to smaller transport crafts - all united under a common fate: drowning beneath an unforgiving sea. This symbolic representation emphasizes humanity's vulnerability when faced with divine judgment. "The Second Trumpet and the Shipwreck" serves as a powerful reminder that even our most formidable creations are no match for forces beyond our control. It invites contemplation on themes such as prophecy, destruction, and mortality while showcasing Bataille's artistic
