Site Visit - June 10, 2015Guided Tour of Apocalypse Tapestry, at the Castel of Angers
Made of wool using the low-warp technique and reversible, the tapestry currently measures on average 103 metres in length and 4.5 metres in width. This work, based on a 1st century A.D. manuscript (the visions of St John, the final text of the New Testament), illustrates the historical, social and political context of 14th century France, at the time of the Hundred Years War, of epidemics and famine.
