Tapestries of the Apocalypse :

These Tapestries constitute an exceptional unit. They were carried out at the request of Louis I of Anjou by Nicolas Bataille and Robert Poinçon of 1375 to 1382 according to drawings of Henequen of Bruges. They illustrate the Bible of St Jean written at the end of 1st century after JC, but at the same time contain information on the political and social life of the end of XIVth century. These Tapestries make more than 100 meters length on 4m50 top; it is a single whole in the world at the same time by the dimension and the quality of work carried out. They were dispersed at the time of the French revolution and were recovered partly in the middle of the XIXth century. There remain 70 tables of the 100 original ones.
