EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating scene from the Apocalypse of Angers tapestry series, showcases the dramatic encounter between the Dragon Royal and the Panther. Created between 1375 and 1382 by the renowned artist Nicolas Bataille during the International Gothic period in France, this tapestry is part of a larger series commissioned by Louis I, Duke of Anjou. The cartons for this masterpiece are attributed to Jean de Bruges, a prominent artist of the time. In this scene, the Dragon Royal, a symbol of evil and chaos, transmits his power to the Panther. The dragon, with its serpentine body coiled around the panther, passes on its royal scepter, an emblem of authority and dominance. The panther, now empowered, stands ready to wreak havoc on the world. The intricate details of this horizontal tapestry, with its vibrant colors and rich textures, transport us back to the medieval period. The Western artistic tradition is deeply rooted in this work, which is now housed in Angers Castle in Maine-et-Loire, France. The Apocalypse of Angers series, with its powerful imagery and biblical themes, continues to captivate art historians and enthusiasts alike, offering a glimpse into the artistic and cultural richness of the Middle Ages. This image, with its dynamic composition and intriguing narrative, invites us to explore the depths of the Apocalypse of Angers and the fascinating world of medieval art.
