EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Ms L. A. 139-Lisboa fol. 29 God rescuing the male child from being devoured by the red dragon" transports us back to the enchanting world of the Gulbenkian Apocalypse, a remarkable illuminated manuscript created in England during the 13th century. Measuring at 26.8x21.7 cm, this vellum artwork is housed within Lisbon's Museu Calouste Gulbenkian. In this particular scene, we witness a powerful and symbolic moment unfold before our eyes. The male child, vulnerable and innocent, finds himself on the brink of destruction as he faces an imposing red dragon with seven heads and ten horns - a fearsome embodiment of evil itself. However, hope emerges through divine intervention as God swoops down to rescue the endangered child from certain doom. This awe-inspiring act of salvation showcases both strength and compassion in equal measure. The intricate details captured in this image allow us to admire not only the skillful craftsmanship but also delve into its deeper meaning: it represents a battle between good and evil that transcends time and resonates with audiences even today. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece of artistry brought to life through illumination techniques, we are reminded of humanity's enduring quest for redemption amidst chaos and adversity. It serves as a testament to our collective desire for salvation against all odds – an eternal portent that continues to captivate hearts across generations.
