      David Musgrove On A Spectacular Detailed Reproduction Of The Bayeux Tapestry

      Dec 21, 2023

      1066 is surely the most famous year in English – maybe British – history. That’s partly because we are blessed with an amazing pictorial source to bring to life that era-defining episode, the battle of Hastings: the Bayeux Tapestry. If you want to re

      This "historic compendium" is moderately interesting in terms of its history and its content about art. Still, I'd probably recommend something else for either distinct purpose. More recent art history texts are surely more up to date and omit little of that which was observed in 1899. The illustrations do provide a solid cross-section of the forms and styles from past periods.
