EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate tapestry titled "Curtain of Revelation: n. 33" created by Nicolas Bataille in the late 14th century. The artwork depicts a powerful and menacing dragon embodying the devil, standing before a woman who is about to give birth. Symbolizing the impending apocalypse, this scene from biblical revelation evokes a sense of awe and intrigue. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stitch of this remarkable tapestry displayed at the Musee des Tapisseries in Angers, France. The dragon's fierce expression and imposing presence are juxtaposed against the vulnerability of the expectant mother, creating a striking visual contrast. In addition to this dramatic scene, another panel within the tapestry portrays John observing a crowd amazed by what seems to be an extraordinary power emanating from beets. This unexpected element adds an intriguing layer of symbolism and mystique to Bataille's work. As we gaze upon this photograph captured by Photo Josse, we are transported back in time to witness these fantastical creatures come alive through thread and needlework. It serves as a reminder of both our fascination with mythical beings and our enduring interest in religious narratives throughout history. This image not only captures an exquisite piece of art but also invites us into a world where imagination intertwines with faith, showcasing how artists like Nicolas Bataille were able to convey complex ideas through their masterful craftsmanship.
