The Design of the Bayeux Tapestry
Author:
Lavishly illustrated and engagingly written, this comprehensive book incorporates previous scholarship while presenting new evidence for the conception and creation of the Bayeux Tapestry. Demonstrating the designer’s debt to existing artworks and traditional methods of composition, it shows the careful structuring of narrative that turns (alleged) historical events into an epic rivalry. In daring use of a secret language that would have been evident only to a few contemporary viewers, the designer expresses his contempt for the Norman conquerors. The study reveals different artists with varying skills and training, while emphasising the complexity and professionalism of this enormous undertaking.
