Apocalypse 1-14-21" exhibition by Bargart at the Centre d'Arts du Prieuré de Vivoin.
The 21st century version of the Apocalypse?
The Sarthe-based artist Danielle Burgart has reinterpreted the Angers Apocalypse in a series of canvases, which she will be exhibiting from Saturday 25 April to Sunday 11 October 2026 at the Prieuré de Vivoin, in northern Sarthe.
Starting in 2022, Burgart, a contemporary painter renowned for her human figures with raptor heads, has embarked on a vast pictorial project entitled Apocalypse 1-14-21, inspired by the Apocalypse Tapestry in the Château d'Angers and the text by John of Patmos. The artist 'updates' this story, transposing it to our contemporary world through her pictorial universe.
This artistic interpretation of the Apocalypse highlights the similarities between medieval apocalyptic visions and contemporary concerns such as conflict, epidemics and climate change. Every day we see signs of the fragility of the Earth's ecosystem, and we now know that humanity runs the risk of self-destruction. It is no longer religious tradition that speaks, but science and current events...
A journey through the centuries, 1-14-21 :
- In the first century, the Text,
- In the fourteenth century, the Tapestry
- and in the twenty-first century, Danielle Burgart's pictorial interpretation.
A monumental series:
Over 59 metres long: 14 canvases measuring 2 x 2 M, 4 canvases measuring 3 x 2 M, 1 canvas measuring 2 x 7.5 M, 22 canvases measuring 1.5 x 0.5 M, 2 rolls of paper measuring 10 x 1.5 M and 4 sculptures measuring 1.8 M.
