Reseña del editor:

Encompasses paintings, illuminated manuscripts, sculpture, stained glass, tapestries and mosaics from the past 1,500 years to provide an overview of the sources and symbolism of biblical accounts of the Apocalypse, with chapters on specific imagery, in which Old and New Testament verses are presented along with images by great Western artists.

Reseña del editor:

With the end of the millennium fast approaching, the strange and wonderful imagery in Revelations: Art of the Apocalypse will prove irresistible to skeptics and believers alike.

Revelations brings together visionary images by some of the greatest artists of Western culture, including Fra Angelico, William Blake, Hieronymous Bosch, Michelangelo, Raphael, Peter Paul Rubens, Luca Signorelli, and J.M.W. Turner as well as modern Outsider artists such as the ever-popular Howard Finster. A concise but illuminating introduction explores the sources, symbolism, and meanings of the biblical Book of Revelation, followed by six chapters devoted to the imagery of the Apocalypse, encompassing illuminated manuscripts, paintings and frescoes, sculpture, stained glass, tapestries, and mosaics from nearly 2,000 years, interwoven with biblical quotes.
