About the book

The Getty Apocalypse is a richly illuminated medieval manuscript of the Book of Revelation, created in England in the thirteenth century. Its images interpret the visions of St John, including angels, beasts, battles, the Four Horsemen and the Last Judgement. The manuscript belongs to an important tradition of illustrated Apocalypse books and offers a vivid example of medieval responses to prophecy, salvation and the end of the world.
