EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to the 13th century, where an extraordinary scene unfolds before our eyes. The image is taken from the Gulbenkian Apocalypse, a renowned illuminated manuscript created by the English School during that period. At its center lies a momentous exchange of power between two formidable entities - the red dragon and the beast of the sea. The red dragon, with its menacing presence and fiery breath, symbolizes evil and chaos. It stands tall on a boat as it relinquishes its dominion to the beast of the sea. The beast itself is a sight to behold; its body resembling that of a leopard while sporting seven lion heads. This monstrous creature represents an embodiment of apocalyptic forces unleashed upon humanity. Surrounding this pivotal event are figures witnessing this transfer of power with both awe and horror etched across their faces. Among them is John the Evangelist, who plays witness to these dark revelations unfolding before him. The illumination within this medieval masterpiece showcases intricate details and vibrant colors that bring life to every element depicted. As we gaze upon this print from Museu Calouste Gulbenkian in Lisbon, Portugal, we cannot help but be drawn into this otherworldly realm where good battles against evil in an eternal struggle for dominance.
