Summary "La Tapisserie de la Reine Mathilde dite La Tapisserie de Bayeux" by A. Levé is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work examines the famous Bayeux Tapestry, an important artifact from the medieval period that artistically narrates the events leading up to the Norman Conquest of England. The study not only discusses the historical significance of the tapestry but also delves into its artistic aspects and the various interpretations surrounding its creation. The opening of the book begins with Levé expressing gratitude to all those who assisted him in his research on the Bayeux Tapestry. He acknowledges its historical importance as the oldest significant monument of drawing art from the Middle Ages, traditionally attributed to Queen Mathilde. Levé clarifies that the tapestry is not a woven tapestry but a piece of embroidery on linen, consisting of various detailed scenes portraying the Conquest of England. The first chapter discusses the use of historical tapestries in the decoration of the 11th century, and hints at the tapestry's role as a narrative device that visually communicates stories and events significant to the time, setting the stage for a detailed analysis of the artifact in the subsequent sections.
