"La Femme chevauche la Bête (illustration du Commentaire de beatus et non de Apoc. XVII)" is an illustration from a manuscript commentary on the Book of Revelation by the artist Facundus, who was born in 1050. This artwork depicts the Woman of Revelation, a figure representing the Church, riding a beast with seven heads and ten horns, symbolizing the Antichrist. The image is characterized by its vibrant colors, particularly the woman's red robe and the beast's bright yellow mane. The woman's raised hand holding a golden cup suggests the cup of God's wrath, foreshadowing the final judgment. This illustration captures a pivotal moment in the apocalyptic narrative, showcasing the power of religious imagery in medieval art.
