This is a Byzantine illumination attributed to Facundus, an artist who worked in the first half of the 11th century. This miniature depicts a scene from the Book of Revelation, chapter 22. The central figure is John, the author of the Book of Revelation, who is kneeling before an angel. The angel holds a book that John is reading. The scene is set in the heavenly court, as indicated by the presence of God in the upper register. The seven lamps, representing the seven churches of Asia, are depicted in the lower register. Facundus's style of Byzantine illumination is notable for its use of bright colors and stylized figures. The composition is divided into three registers: a celestial scene, a terrestrial scene, and a scene depicting the seven churches.
