EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 15th century tapestry, titled "St. John and the Angel," is a masterpiece from the Apocalypse of Angers series, created between 1375 and 1382. Commissioned by Louis I, Duke of Anjou, the tapestry is a testament to the artistic prowess of the International Gothic period in France. The scene depicts St. John the Evangelist, seated on a rocky outcropping, being fed the words of God by a magnificent angel. The angel's wings are spread wide, creating a sense of grandeur and otherworldliness. The intricate details of the tapestry are a feast for the eyes, with the rich colors and bold lines characteristic of the Western artistic tradition during the medieval period. The scene is the 15th in the series, and the cartons for the tapestry are attributed to Jean de Bruges, a renowned artist of the time. The tapestry is currently housed in Angers Castle in Maine-et-Loire, France, and remains an enduring symbol of the artistic and historical significance of the region.
