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. 28 The 7th angel blowing his trumpet" it depicts a pivotal moment in the Book of Revelations. In this image, we witness the seventh angel sounding his trumpet while surrounded by twenty-four elders who kneel in awe and worship before God. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this medieval artwork come to life through its delicate vellum medium. The composition is dominated by a majestic mandorla, symbolizing divine radiance and power. As the angel blows his trumpet, it heralds the arrival of apocalyptic events known as "the 3rd woe". This heavenly spectacle showcases both fear and reverence for those present. The figures depicted here represent kings and lords who have been saved or elected by God's grace. Their humble postures reflect their recognition of His supreme authority over all creation. This remarkable piece exemplifies the mastery of English School artists during this period, with their meticulous attention to detail evident throughout every brushstroke. Preserved at Museu Calouste Gulbenkian in Lisbon, Portugal, this work continues to inspire viewers with its spiritual significance and artistic brilliance.
