EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene from the Gulbenkian Apocalypse, an illuminated manuscript dating back to the 13th century. Titled "Ms L. A. 139-Lisboa fol. 32 The woman flying away as the Earth swallows the water spewed out by the red dragon" this image showcases a moment of intense drama and symbolism. In this apocalyptic revelation, we witness a female figure fearlessly taking flight while being pursued by a monstrous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns. As she soars through the air, her wings spread wide, she manages to escape its clutches just in time. Meanwhile, beneath them, the earth opens up voraciously to swallow the water spewed by this terrifying creature. The composition is richly detailed and exquisitely executed on vellum, showcasing both artistic skill and religious significance prevalent during medieval times. This piece serves as a reminder of humanity's eternal struggle against evil forces personified by Satan himself. Preserved within Museu Calouste Gulbenkian in Lisbon, Portugal, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its profound narrative and striking imagery. It stands as a testament to our enduring fascination with apocalyptic themes throughout history. Bridgeman Images has masterfully reproduced this work for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its historical value and intricate beauty without commercial intentions or purposes beyond sharing it with admirers worldwide.
