Nicolas Bataille Wall Art

Nicolas Bataille (1330 – 1405) was a French artist of the 14th century. He was also a Hand-weaver and between 1375 and 1381 he made a series of tapestries showing scenes from the apocalypse. These works of art were intended to decorate the castle of Louis I of Anjou in Angers. They were based on drawings by Jean de Bondolf. In total, the piece originally consisted of 105 scenes, out of which 70 are still available. Bataille became a household name when it came to home décor. He was well known for composing artwork that captured the organic and imaginative possibilities of the mediums he was using. He liked to travel a lot and believed these trips helped him to create works of art that spoke to the sense of unknown and mystery in the individuals who viewed them. For many years, his art has been praised for its salutary and reassuring nature - transformative and gorgeous: a true reflection of the artist himself.

He was skilled in blending of texture and color and this earned him an international acclaim with his exhibitions. He was a firm believer in the inspiring and regenerative power of color, texture, and design. Bataille used to tap into the energy of his surroundings to create paintings that pacified the soul and promoted an environment of peace and relaxation. Many clients liked to purchase his art because of the subject matter he was choosing. Just as creating each work of art was a personal journey for Bataille, the artist invited the viewers to draw their own connections and interpretation, and to embrace each piece of art as their own. He therefore avoided adding too much detail to his work.
