Vision préliminaire. Le Christ porteur du Livre de Vie. Apoc. I 

This Byzantine icon, created by Facundus, depicts the Christ holding the Book of Life surrounded by angels. The icon is a striking example of the Byzantine style of art, featuring a stylized figure of Christ and a bold use of color. The icon is part of a larger work, possibly a manuscript, and offers insight into the religious beliefs and artistic practices of the time. The detailed depiction of angels, the iconic pose of Christ, and the vivid colors all contribute to the symbolic and spiritual power of the image. This iconic style of art served as a powerful visual language for transmitting religious teachings to a largely illiterate population during the Middle Ages.
