EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing artwork of "Ms 422 f. 33v Fall of the Star of Satan" by the French School in the 13th century. Created on vellum, this masterpiece is housed in the Bibliotheque Municipale in Cambrai, France. The image depicts a scene from the Book of Revelation, specifically from chapter nine. As described in the biblical text, when the fifth angel sounded his trumpet, a star fell from heaven to earth and was given the key to open the bottomless pit. The artist beautifully captures this momentous event with intricate details and vibrant colors. Intriguingly, we see locust-like creatures resembling horses prepared for battle emerging from this abyss. They wear golden crowns upon their heads and possess human-like faces. This illustration represents one of many openings of seven seals mentioned in Revelation. The medieval manuscript illumination transports us back to a time when religious art played a significant role in conveying biblical narratives to illiterate audiences. The exquisite craftsmanship showcased here exemplifies both technical skill and spiritual devotion. This remarkable piece invites viewers into an apocalyptic world filled with symbolism and mystery. It serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with divine revelations throughout history.
