First Vision. Fiery life-force 

"First Vision. Fiery life-force" is a visionary artwork created by Hildegard of Bingen, a renowned 12th-century German Benedictine abbess, writer, composer, philosopher, and polymath. The painting depicts an angel, standing on a serpent and holding a lamb, with the head of God appearing in a mandorla above. The image embodies the concept of divine intervention and the victory of good over evil, characteristic of Hildegard's theological and spiritual writings. This artwork exemplifies the unique and complex style of medieval manuscript illumination, combining bold colors, intricate patterns, and symbolic imagery.
