EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable tapestry titled "The Woman About to Give Birth and the Great Dragon Waiting to Devour the Infant, no. 35 from The Apocalypse of Angers". Created by Nicolas Bataille during the late 14th century, this masterpiece is housed in the Musee des Tapisseries in Angers, France. In this scene inspired by the Book of Revelation, we witness an intense struggle between good and evil. A pregnant woman stands at the center, representing both vulnerability and hope for new life. However, lurking behind her is a menacing great dragon eagerly waiting to devour her unborn child. The artist's intricate details bring this apocalyptic battle to life. The woman's expression reflects a mix of fear and determination as she prepares to protect her precious baby against all odds. Hovering above them are celestial beings - angels sent as guardians - ready to intervene and rescue the innocent child from imminent danger. Bathed in Gothic influences, this tapestry captures not only religious symbolism but also conveys themes of motherhood, salvation, and divine intervention. It serves as a reminder that even in times of darkness and chaos, there is always light shining through. Through this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, viewers can marvel at Bataille's artistic genius while contemplating profound questions about faith, courage, and our eternal struggle against evil forces seeking to destroy what is pure and sacred.
