EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of medieval art, Ms R. 16.2 fol. 7a The Sixth Seal, from the Trinity Apocalypse, dating back to around 1250. Created by an anonymous English artist in the 13th century, this vellum manuscript is housed at Trinity College in Cambridge, UK. The image depicts a scene from the Book of Revelation featuring St. John the Evangelist as he witnesses the opening of the sixth seal. The composition is filled with intense drama and symbolism; falling towers represent destruction while angels soar above, bringing forth divine judgment. A terrified crowd below reacts to these apocalyptic events unfolding before them. Their expressions convey fear and awe as they witness an earthquake shaking their world apart. This exquisite artwork not only captures the imagination but also serves as a testament to the skill and creativity of medieval artisans who meticulously crafted such manuscripts by hand. Through this photo print, viewers are transported back in time to experience both religious devotion and artistic excellence that defined this period in history. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every intricate detail of this masterpiece, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and significance even today. This photograph offers a glimpse into our rich cultural heritage and reminds us of humanity's eternal fascination with spirituality and eschatology.
