The Byzantine artwork "Grande Théophanie, synthèse de l'Apocalypse IV et V, et Ezéchiel I," by Facundus, features a complex and symbolic depiction of angels and the divine. At the top of the composition, two angels hold aloft an archway revealing a seated figure, likely representing God or a divine being, holding a book. The main body of the work is a circular, rotating mandala-like composition, with a series of rings and rows of angels, Each angel is depicted in vibrant, jewel-toned clothing, playing a musical instrument, and with a unique position within the celestial sphere. This imagery may reference the Book of Revelations and Ezekiel, reflecting the iconography of the time. While the exact date of the work is unknown, the style reflects the Byzantine artistic tradition of the 11th and 12th centuries.
