This illuminated manuscript page, created by Facundus in the 11th century, depicts a scene from the Book of Revelation. The painting shows the "Beast," a monstrous creature with a dragon-like tail and a lion's head, emerging from the sea. Frogs emerge from its mouth and from the mouths of the dragon and a "false prophet" to deceive the people. The text below the scene reads “false prophets.” The image is a powerful representation of the biblical passage and its warnings of temptation and the dangers of false idols. This type of apocalyptic imagery was common in medieval art, and it serves as a reminder of the importance of faith and the struggle between good and evil.
