Saint John on Patmos 

This illuminated manuscript painting by the Limbourg brothers depicts the biblical scene of Saint John on the island of Patmos. John, dressed in blue robes, is seated on a rocky outcrop, writing in a book, while an eagle sits at his side. Above him is a vision of God and the angels, signifying John's divine inspiration for writing the Book of Revelation. This scene, typical of early 15th century manuscript art, embodies the Gothic style with its meticulous detail and vibrant colors. The painting's composition, with John situated below the heavenly scene, emphasizes the divine nature of his writing.
