EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a leaf from a Beatus Manuscript, dating back to around 1180. Created by the Spanish School, this masterpiece measures 44.5x30 cm and is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, USA. The image depicts a scene from the Book of Revelation, where Saint John records his vision of the end of the world. At the Clarion of the Fifth Angels Trumpet, a Star Falls from the Sky; The Bottomless Pit is Opened with a Key; Emerging from the Smoke, Locusts Come Upon Earth and Torment the Deathless. Beatus manuscripts are unique to medieval Spain and its monastic culture. They beautifully illustrate this apocalyptic vision described by Saint John. This particular artwork captures elements such as smoke, biblical references like locusts and angels, as well as symbols representing good and evil. Through intricate details created with tempera paint, gold accents, and ink on parchment paper, this manuscript transports viewers into an otherworldly realm filled with demons tormenting humanity while heavenly forces battle against them. With its rich religious symbolism and stunning illumination techniques commonly seen in medieval artistry during that era known as Middle Ages or Medieval period), this leaf serves as both an artistic treasure and historical artifact for those fascinated by Christian theology and biblical narratives.
