Description
Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they were defeated and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world - he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him"" (Revelations 12:7-9). Apocalypse Tapestry, Chateau d'Angers, earliest surviving warp tapestry, originally depicted the entire story of the Apocalypse. Each tapestry consisted of seven wall hangings showing seated figures and fourteen panels (alternating red and blue backgrounds) illustrating a verse from Revelations. 1375-1382.
