EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene from the Gulbenkian Apocalypse, an illuminated manuscript created by the English School in the 13th century. Titled "Ms L. A. 139-Lisboa fol. 59 An angel leading St. John the Evangelist to the Harlot of Babylon" this artwork measures 26.8x21.7 cm and is housed in the Museu Calouste Gulbenkian in Lisbon, Portugal. In this image, we witness an angel guiding St. John towards a shocking sight - the Harlot of Babylon herself. Seated on a scarlet beast with a body resembling that of a leopard and head like that of a lion, she holds aloft a cup filled with abominations. Stunningly detailed and richly colored, this medieval masterpiece depicts St. John's appalled expression as he confronts this sinful figure who represents temptation and corruption. The contrast between his righteous resistance and her provocative allure creates an intense visual narrative within this illuminated manuscript. The artist skillfully portrays both malevolence and protestation through intricate details such as multiple heads emerging from behind her, symbolizing deceitful power structures at play. As viewers engage with this print, they are transported back in time to witness one of Revelations' most iconic scenes brought to life through exquisite illumination techniques. This print by Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its artistic brilliance as it continues to captivate audiences centuries
