The Bayeux Tapestry inspired this design.
The Bayeux Tapestry, depicting the Battle of Hastings or The Norman Conquest 1066, is shrouded in mystery. It isn’t a tapestry, it is an embroidery. No one knows for certain where it was stitched, although probably in Canterbury, England, and who stitched it, maybe nuns, and who it was for – The Notre Dame in Bayeux, Normandy? It will be shown in England at the British Museum in September 2026 in a blockbuster exhibition, for the first time since it was stitched. It is one of the World’s greatest art masterpieces. It shows the triumph of William the Conqueror and the tragedy of Harold, King of England.
