La septième Coupe. Apoc. XVI 

"La septième Coupe. Apoc. XVI" is an illuminated manuscript page attributed to the Spanish artist Facundus, active around the 11th century. The artwork depicts an angel pouring a chalice of fiery liquid onto a city. The stylized form of the angel, the use of gold leaf and the depiction of a city in the background are characteristic of this period’s style. It illustrates the Book of Revelation, specifically Chapter 16, verses 1-21. The angel represents one of the seven angels who pour out the seven bowls of God’s wrath on the world. The city is a symbol of the evils of the world, and the fiery liquid represents God’s judgment. This manuscript page is a beautiful example of medieval art and its symbolic language.
