La cinquième Trompette. L'Astre tombé des Cieux. La clef du Puits de l'Abîme. Apoc. VIII 

This illustration, "La cinquième Trompette. L'Astre tombé des Cieux. La clef du Puits de l'Abîme. Apoc. VIII," by Facundus (c. 1050-?) depicts a scene from the Book of Revelation. The image is divided into five horizontal bands, each representing a different aspect of the apocalyptic event. The top band shows a celestial scene with a red sun and numerous stars, symbolizing the heavens. Below, an angel blows a trumpet as a fiery beam descends from the sky, representing the fifth trumpet of the Apocalypse. The third band depicts demonic creatures being released from the abyss, with an angel attempting to control them with a chain. The fourth band shows a scene of chaos, with humans being tormented by the creatures. Finally, the bottom band features a figure holding a key, signifying the opening of the abyss. This work is a powerful example of medieval art, capturing the drama and terror of the Apocalypse.
