Answer 1

The statement that is NOT correct about the Bayeux Tapestry is:

"Male artists created the pieces in professional workshops."

While it is likely that men played a role in the production of the tapestry, there is strong evidence suggesting that women, particularly in domestic settings, were also involved in its creation. Therefore, claiming that only male artists created it is inaccurate.
