cma-medieval-art: Miniature from a Manuscript of the Apocalypse: The Woman Clothed with the Sun and The War in Heaven, c. 1295, Cleveland Museum of Art: Medieval ArtThe visionary text of St. John the Evangelist’s Apocalypse, the final book of the New Testament, inspired these images of salvation, sin, and divine retribution. A large number of illustrated volumes of the Apocalypse appeared in Northern Europe, especially in England, after the year 1240–perhaps reflecting a fear of the world’s end. These miniatures come from a manuscript produced in Lorraine, then artistically influenced by English models.Size: Sheet: 12 x 14.2 cm (4 ¾ x 5 9/16 in.)Medium: ink, tempera, and gold on vellumhttps://clevelandart.org/art/1983.73.2 -- source link
