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. 38 St. John the Evangelist watching the beast bring fire down" this image showcases the intricate artistry of English School during medieval times. In this apocalyptic depiction, we witness St. John the Evangelist kneeling in awe as he observes a fearsome beast descending from heaven, engulfed in flames. The artist skillfully portrays every detail of this chilling moment, with heads resembling those of a lion and a leopard adorning its body. The symbolism is rich and thought-provoking; it represents evil ruling over humanity while Satan revels in his power. Yet amidst this chaos, St. John remains steadfast in his faith, worshipping with reverence and devotion. The illumination technique used here adds depth and intensity to the artwork, making each element come alive on vellum parchment. The vibrant colors and meticulous brushstrokes showcase the mastery of medieval artists who dedicated countless hours to create such magnificent pieces. Preserved at Museu Calouste Gulbenkian in Lisbon, Portugal, this print offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but forever etched in history through these remarkable works of art. It serves as a reminder that even amidst darkness and turmoil, there is always hope for redemption and salvation.
