For nearly two thousand years, artists have been envisioning the end of the world as described in the biblical Book of Revelation. Their wonderfully strange creations - from Luca Signorelli's heroic angel warriors to William Blake's nightmarish beasts, and from Giotto's flower-strewn heaven to Howard Finster's blood red hell - fill Revelations: Art of the Apocalypse. The introduction to Revelations: Art of the Apocalypse provides an enlightening overview of the ancient sources, multilayered meanings, and mystifying symbolism of Revelation.
