Close up of fragment, both sides, page 16 This offers a fairly traditional view of the Bayeux tapestry and the events it depicts, with a lot of description and quotes from the main sources and not much analysis of those sources or of wider events. Where it excels though is in its full reproduction of the entire embroidery at one sixth scale, which makes it large enough to see detail, without the book being too large. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
The Bayeux Tapestry is unique, not only by virtue of its age, but also because it is an artistic and cultural testimonial which gives a startling insight into people's lives in the late Viking Age. The 70-meter-long tapestry is illustrated here in its entirety. Each complete scene, with the text belonging to it, is reproduced on a double page of the book - exactly as the artist may have wished it in his time. The beautiful and often dramatic pictures are presented and explained by the Danish archaeologist Mogens Rud. The author provides background material on contemporary political and dynastic conflicts; he gives a vivid account of the living conditions of the Vikings, who are so realistically portrayed in the Bayeux Tapestry's multicolored embroidery.
