"The seven-headed beast from the sea receiving the homage of men" is a notable tapestry created by Nicolas Bataille, a prominent French tapestry maker of the 14th century. This work is part of the larger series known as the Apocalypse Tapestry, which is housed in the Château d'Angers in France. Commissioned by Louis I, Duke of Anjou, in the late 1370s, the tapestry series is one of the most significant and well-preserved examples of medieval textile art.

The tapestry depicts a scene from the Book of Revelation, specifically Revelation 13:1-4, where a beast with seven heads rises from the sea and receives the adoration of men. This imagery is rich with symbolic meaning, representing the forces of evil and the trials faced by humanity. The detailed and vivid portrayal of the beast and the surrounding figures showcases Bataille's mastery in weaving and his ability to convey complex narratives through textile art.

Nicolas Bataille collaborated with the painter Hennequin de Bruges, also known as Jean de Bondol, who provided the detailed cartoons or preparatory drawings for the tapestries. The collaboration between Bataille and de Bruges resulted in a series that is not only artistically impressive but also rich in theological and allegorical content.

The Apocalypse Tapestry, including "The seven-headed beast from the sea receiving the homage of men," is celebrated for its intricate design, vibrant colors, and the skillful use of wool and silk threads. The tapestry's preservation over the centuries allows contemporary audiences to appreciate the craftsmanship and the historical context of medieval Europe. The work remains a significant cultural artifact, offering insights into the medieval mindset, religious beliefs, and artistic practices of the time.
