DESCRIPTION
Picturing the Apocalypse: The Book of Revelation in the Arts over Two Millennia
The book of Revelation has been a source of continual fascination for nearly two thousand years.
Concepts such as the Lamb of God, the Four Horsemen, the Seventh Seal, the Beasts and Antichrist,
the Whore of Babylon, Armageddon, the Millennium, the Last Judgement, the New Jerusalem, and
theubiquitous angels of the Apocalypse have captured the popular imagination. One can hardly open a
newspaper or click on a news site without reading about impending financial or climate-change
Armageddon, while the concept of the Four Horsemen pervades popular music, gaming, and satire. Yet
few peopleknow much about either the basic meaning or original context of these concepts or the
multiplicity of different ways in which they have been interpreted by visual artists in particular. The visual
history of this most widely illustrated of all the biblical books deserves greater attention.This book fills
these gaps in a striking and original way by means of ten concise thematic chapters which explain the
origins of these concepts from the book of Revelation in an accessible way. These explanations are
augmented and developed via a carefully selected sample of the ways in which theconcepts have been
treated by artists through the centuries. The 120 visual examples are drawn from a wide range of time
periods and media including the ninth-century Trier Apocalypse, thirteenth-century Anglo-Norman
Apocalypse Manuscripts such as the Lambeth and Trinity Apocalypses, thefourteenth-century Angers
Apocalypse Tapestry, fifteenth-century Apocalypse altarpieces by Van Eyck and Memling,
Dürerand Cranach's sixteenth-century Apocalypse woodcuts, and more recently a range of works
by William Blake, J.M.W. Turner, Max Beckmann, as well as film posters and film stills,cartoons, and
children's book illustrations. The final chapter demonstrates the continuing resonance of all the themes in
contemporary religious, political, and popular thinking, while throughout the book a contrast will be drawn
between those readers of Revelation who have seen it in terms ofearthly revolutions in the here and now,
and those who have adopted a more spiritual, other-worldly approach.
