The Bayeux Tapestry is a work of art developed during the medieval period (Bridgeford 6). This artefact was essentially developed to depict the Norman conquest of England. Apparently, this work is renowned and acknowledged as the finest work and a superlative achievement by Norman Romanesque. This artefact appeals to me personally because it not only depicts the history of the Britain, but also relates culture of the mediaeval period to the contemporary culture. On first site, one is predisposed to realising the high level of creativity incorporated in this artefact. Additionally, considering that this artefact persisted for nine centuries, it is imperative to establish the durability and hence the quality of it.
Apparently, I choose this artefact because it not only embrace creativity but also elaborates history and the ancient culture more insightfully as it pertains to the people of England. It is often said that a picture is worth a thousand words, well, this artefact apparently implies many things. It is particularly because the developer of it took his time to ensure that all the important concepts that ought to be communicated have been incorporated to the artefact comprehensively. Its beauty and explicit nature apparently appeal to anyone irrespective of savour.
The strength of this artefact is that; it has many concepts incorporated in it that could have necessarily required one to utilise many materials. Additionally, it is durable and has a strong appeal to people that embrace the beauty and hold high regards towards art. The weakness of this artefact is that, it only relates to those who were involved in Norman Conquest of England and those that were affected by the aftermath effects. Additionally, in the eighteenth century, this artefact was regarded barbarous and crude essentially because the red and yellow, multicoloured horses were subjected to critics (Bridgeford 47).
