Description

The Bayeux Tapestry is a remarkable artefact from the eleventh century, a vivid portrayal of the events leading up to the contested accession to the English throne. This beautifully illustrated book presents a detailed commentary alongside each episode, allowing you to follow the story blow by blow. The tapestry's brilliant colours remain undimmed after nearly a thousand years, a testament to the skill of its creators. A leading authority on the subject, Lucien Musset examines the work "frame by frame", providing a unique insight into the artists' minds at work. This profusely illustrated volume includes a full-colour reproduction of the entire Tapestry, making it an ideal resource for anyone interested in art, history, or the medieval period.
