1. Title: Beatus of Liébana's Illustration of The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (1047) This stunning miniature painting, created by the renowned Spanish artist Beatus of Liébana in 1047, is a captivating representation of The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse from the Book of Revelation. The artwork is a significant masterpiece of Mozarabic and Romanesque art, housed in the National Library of Spain in Madrid. The illustration, executed in vibrant colors, depicts the four horsemen riding their respective horses, each symbolizing a different aspect of the apocalypse. The first horseman, dressed in a red robe and holding a bow and arrows, symbolizes Conquest. The second horseman, clad in black, represents War, carrying a large sword. The third horseman, wearing a yellow robe, signifies Famine, holding a balance scale. Lastly, the fourth horseman, dressed in pale green, represents Death, carrying a pair of scales and a scythe. The intricate details of the painting, such as the horsemen's clothing, the horses' ornate saddles, and the surrounding landscape, showcase the exceptional skill and artistry of Beatus of Liébana. This artwork is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of medieval Spain and the influence of Romanesque art on European art history. The Royal Collegiate Church of San Isidoro in León, Spain, is the original location of this masterpiece. However, it is now preserved and displayed in the National Library of Spain, where it continues to inspire awe and fascination among scholars, art enthusiasts, and visitors alike. This vertical image, with its rich colors and intricate details, offers a glimpse into the vibrant and intriguing world of medieval art and the profound symbolism of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
