EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ms L. A. 139-Lisboa fol. 30 The woman hidden in the desert whilst Archangel Michael fights the dragon in Heaven, from the Gulbenkian Apocalypse" transports us back to the 13th century, immersing us in a world of mysticism and divine battles. The image showcases an exquisite illuminated manuscript created by the English School during this era. At its center, we see a saintly figure engrossed in reading sacred texts, symbolizing wisdom and spiritual guidance amidst chaos. Behind her looms a fearsome beast with seven heads and ten horns – an embodiment of evil that threatens humanity's existence. Intriguingly, while this epic confrontation unfolds between Archangel Michael and the dragon in heavenly realms above, our attention is drawn to the woman hidden within a desolate desert landscape below. She represents resilience and faith as she endures her own personal trials during these apocalyptic times. The composition skillfully captures the clash between good and evil through intricate details such as angelic figures armed with lances engaging in battle against demonic forces. This visual narrative serves as a reminder of mankind's eternal struggle against temptation and darkness. Preserved at Museu Calouste Gulbenkian in Lisbon, Portugal, this vellum masterpiece stands as a testament to medieval artistry and religious devotion. Its delicate illumination adds depth to every stroke of color on its pages. Through Bridgeman Images' fine art reproduction expertise, viewers can
