Title: Beasts of the Apocalypse Tapestry
Caption: Tapisserie de l'Apocalypse. A medieval tapestry of the False Prophet, the Dragon, and the Beast of the Sea. The first beast comes from "out of the sea" and is given authority and power by the dragon. The second beast comes from "out of the earth" and directs all peoples of the earth to worship the first beast. The second beast is also referred to as the false prophet. The two beasts are aligned with the dragon in opposition to God. They persecute Christians and influence the kings of the earth to gather for the battle of Armageddon. The two beasts are defeated by Christ and are thrown into the lake of fire. The Apocalypse Tapestry is a medieval French tapestry commissioned by Louis I, the Duke of Anjou, and produced between 1377 and 1382. It depicts the story of the Apocalypse from the Book of Revelation by Saint John the Divine. They were conceived and executed by Nicolas Bataille and Robert Poincon.
