EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning image is taken from the Escorial Beatus, a 10th-century Spanish codex with a commentary on the Apocalypse of St. John, now housed in the Royal Library of the Monastery of El Escorial in Madrid, Spain. The miniature painting on folio 144r depicts the Faithful and True Rider, a key figure from the Book of Revelation (Rev. XIX, 11-16). The rider is shown with a sword in his mouth, symbolizing his power and authority, and leading the White Army of God, an army of angels and saints, against the forces of evil. The Escorial Beatus is a prime example of Preromanesque art, a style that emerged in the Iberian Peninsula during the 10th and 11th centuries, before the Romanesque and Gothic styles became dominant. The codex was likely produced in the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla in the province of La Rioja, northern Spain. The intricate details of the painting, such as the ornate clothing and armor of the rider and the various symbols and motifs used to represent the different members of the army, demonstrate the high level of skill and artistry of the artist or artists who created it. The Escorial Beatus is a valuable and important work of European art, providing insights into the religious beliefs and artistic traditions of the early medieval period.
