The Tapestry
"The Tapestry" is a famous piece of medieval art, specifically known as the Bayeux Tapestry. It is an embroidered cloth that tells the story of the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. The tapestry is approximately 70 meters long and features detailed scenes depicting the events leading up to the conquest, including the preparation of the Norman army and the Battle of Hastings.
Created in the 11th century, the tapestry is believed to have been commissioned by Bishop Odo of Bayeux. It serves as a valuable historical document, providing insights into the clothing, ships, and daily life of the time. Today, it is housed in the Bayeux Museum in France.
