"The Second Trumpet and the Shipwreck 2" is a tapestry that is part of the "Apocalypse Tapestry" series, which was originally commissioned by Louis I, the Duke of Anjou, in the late 14th century. The tapestry series is based on the Book of Revelation (the Apocalypse of John) from the New Testament. Nicolas Bataille, a renowned French weaver, is credited with the creation of the tapestries, although the designs are attributed to Hennequin de Bruges.

The "Apocalypse Tapestry" is a monumental medieval tapestry, originally measuring about 140 meters long and 6 meters high, divided into a number of sections depicting scenes from the Apocalypse. "The Second Trumpet and the Shipwreck 2" specifically illustrates the moment described in Revelation 8:8-9, where a great mountain burning with fire is cast into the sea, following the sounding of the second trumpet, resulting in the destruction of ships and sea life.

This particular piece of the tapestry, like the others in the series, is notable for its intricate detail, vivid colors, and the complexity of its imagery. The tapestries were woven using wool and silk, with some sections including the use of precious metals. The iconography is rich with symbolism, reflecting the medieval understanding of the biblical text, as well as the artistic and cultural context of the time.

The "Apocalypse Tapestry" was displayed in the cathedral of Angers, France, and was intended to educate and inspire awe among the medieval viewers. Over the centuries, the tapestries have suffered damage and were even cut into pieces during the French Revolution. Restoration efforts in the 19th and 20th centuries have allowed for the preservation and partial reassembly of this important work of medieval art.

"The Second Trumpet and the Shipwreck 2" is significant not only as a piece of religious art but also as a historical artifact that offers insight into the craftsmanship and artistic expression of the late Middle Ages. Today, the surviving sections of the "Apocalypse Tapestry," including "The Second Trumpet and the Shipwreck 2," are housed in the Château d'Angers in Angers, France, and remain a testament to the skill and vision of Nicolas Bataille and the medieval weavers who brought the apocalyptic visions to life.
