EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Lamb on Mount Zion, no. 47 from The Apocalypse of Angers" a magnificent tapestry created by Nicolas Bataille in the late 14th century. This medieval French masterpiece was commissioned by Louis I, the Duke of Anjou, and tells the story of the Apocalypse as described in the Book of Revelation by Saint John the Divine. The image depicts a scene filled with symbolism and prophetic elements. In the foreground stands a majestic lion wearing a crown, representing power and royalty. Surrounding it are angels bearing crowns and holding books, signifying divine knowledge and prophecy. Atop Mount Zion sits an angelic figure accompanied by sheep and a gentle lamb at its feet. This lamb symbolizes purity and sacrifice while also alluding to Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God. The intricate details woven into this tapestry reveal scenes from biblical narratives such as Matthew, Luke, John, and other apocalyptic visions. It is truly awe-inspiring to witness how these ancient stories come alive through vibrant colors and meticulous craftsmanship. After being lost for centuries and enduring mistreatment during the late 18th century, this remarkable tapestry was eventually recovered and restored in the 19th century. Today it finds its rightful place at Chateau d'Angers where visitors can marvel at its beauty while immersing themselves in medieval history.
