Miniature from a Manuscript of the Apocalypse: The Fall of Babylon, c. 1295. France, Lorraine, 13th century. Ink, tempera, and gold on vellum; sheet: 10.4 x 14.6 cm (4 1/8 x 5 3/4 in.). The 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.
