Created between 1373 and 1387, this series is a monumental work of medieval textile art commissioned by Louis I, Duke of Anjou, and produced under the direction of the Parisian weaver Nicolas Bataille. The tapestries illustrate scenes from the Book of Revelation by Saint John the Divine and were designed by Hennequin de Bruges, a renowned Flemish artist of the time.

The artistry of the tapestry showcases the Gothic style of the period, characterized by its attention to detail, use of perspective, and the expressive portrayal of figures. The tapestry's iconography not only serves a religious purpose but also reflects the political and social context of 14th-century France, resonating with contemporary events and the worldview of the elite patrons.
