It is one of Europe's greatest treasures and its own story is full of drama and surprise.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWho commissioned the tapestry? Was it Bishop Odo, William's ruthless half-brother? Or Harold's dynamic sister Edith, juggling for a place in the new court? Hicks shows us this world and the miracle of the tapestry's making: the stitches, dyes and strange details in the margins. For centuries it lay ignored in Bayeux cathedral until its 'discovery' in the eighteenth century. It became a symbol of power as well as art: townsfolk saved it during the French Revolution; Napoleon displayed it to promote his own conquest; the Nazis strove to make it their own; and its influence endures today.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis marvellous book, packed with thrilling stories, shows how we remake history in every age and how a great work of art has a life of its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780099450191\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.7 x 5.0 x 1.0 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VINTAGE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50105381617968,"sku":"Trans_9780099450191","price":1425.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/81cu4_S97OL.jpg?v=1756731478","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/the-bayeux-tapestry-the-life-story-of-a-masterpiece","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
