EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning image captures the third scene of the Apocalypse of Angers tapestry, created between 1375 and 1382 in France. Commissioned by Louis I, Duke of Anjou, after cartons attributed to Jean de Bruges, this masterpiece of International Gothic art depicts the biblical story of the Apocalypse of St. John. In this scene, the First Cup is poured out upon the Earth from a golden vial or bowl, symbolizing the Wrath of God. The intricate details of the tapestry are brought to life through the use of vibrant colors and horizontal composition. The scene is filled with a sense of drama and urgency, as the apocalypse unfolds before our eyes. The Apocalypse of Angers is a remarkable testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the late Middle Ages in Europe. This image is a must-see for anyone interested in Western art history and the apocalyptic themes that have shaped our collective imagination for centuries.
