This 11th-century illuminated manuscript page by Facundus depicts a scene from the Book of Revelation. The central figure, likely God, sits on a throne and raises his hand in blessing. The lower portion of the page illustrates the river of life, flowing from the throne, with trees lining its banks. An angel points to a tree in the foreground, suggesting the promise of eternal life offered in the New Jerusalem. The vibrant colors and stylized figures characteristic of Byzantine art make this a powerful and iconic representation of Christian eschatology.
