Finally got down to the National Gallery today to check out the refurbished wing; didn’t get anywhere close to seeing everything but I did manage to find this painting which used to scare the crap out of me when I was a child. It’s a scene from the Book of Revelation, when God opens the Sixth Seal. Today I found out the artist added abolitionist imagery to it (it was painted some time between Britain banning the slave trade in 1807 and fully banning slavery in 1833), which is pretty cool!
