EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Ms L. A. 139-Lisboa fol. 35 The people worshipping the beast and the dragon" transports us back to a medieval world filled with revelations and apocalyptic imagery. Created by an anonymous English artist in the 13th century, this illuminated manuscript captures a scene of pure evil reigning for 42 months. Intriguingly, at the center of this image stands a fearsome creature with the head of a lion and the body of a leopard - symbolizing power and dominance. Surrounding it are figures kneeling in adoration, their faces filled with both awe and fear as they worship this malevolent being. The devil himself is depicted holding a sceptre of power, signifying his control over those who have succumbed to his influence. This haunting portrayal serves as a reminder that even in medieval times, mankind was susceptible to temptation and manipulation. The intricate details within this artwork showcase the skillful craftsmanship of its creator. Each figure is meticulously rendered on vellum, bringing them to life despite their sinister nature. Now housed in Museu Calouste Gulbenkian in Lisbon, Portugal, this piece from the Gulbenkian Apocalypse series continues to captivate viewers centuries later. It serves as an enduring testament to humanity's fascination with darkness and our eternal struggle against evil forces that seek to rule our lives.
