Showing at the Eric Morecambe Centre…
1066 AND ALL THAT – The Bayeux Tapestry
Speaker: Martin Heard
What does it really depict? Secrets & mysteries revealed! Miraculous survival, a great medieval work of art 70m x 50 cm with over 1,000 human and animal figures, brilliant colours undimmed after nearly 1000 years. Perhaps history’s first cartoon, continuous scenes show the 11th century struggle for England’s throne. But who commissioned it? Where was it made? Who designed it? And did King Harold really die of an arrow in his eye?
Martin Heard specialises in European 18th -19th century art, architecture & garden history from medieval to Capability Brown & Humphry Repton.
