King Arthur
by BATAILLE, Nicolas, Wool, 427 x 297 cm
John of Berry collected and commissioned numerous large tapestries. A large tapestry series about the Nine Worthies was very likely an extravagant gift from his brother, the Duke of Anjou. Produced under the supervision of Nicolas Bataille, these tapestries represent high-born heroes of chivalric tales, such as King Arthur and Hector of Troy.
The picture shows King Arthur from the Series of the Nine Worthies.
