Miniature from a Manuscript of the Apocalypse: The Fall of Babylon

Cleveland Museum of Art

Medieval-style illustration from the Apocalypse. Man with a halo and blue robe on the left, barefoot, holding a staff and raising one hand. Two angels in blue, with red and green wings, emerging from a white cloud at the top, pointing downwards. Below them, three birds with large wings: one white, one grey, and one blue. These birds are perched on top of a crumbling, multi-colored building or wall with red, white, and blue elements. The background is pinkish-red with blue dots. The scene is framed by a blue and white border at the top and bottom, and beige borders on the sides.
