EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable painting "Saint John of Patmos" by Adriaen Isenbrandt or Isenbrant. The artwork, housed in the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Valenciennes, France, depicts various scenes from the Book of Revelation. In the lower middle section, we see Saint John himself diligently writing on the Island of Patmos. Moving to the upper right-hand corner, a mesmerizing vision unfolds before our eyes - a Lamb with seven horns and seven eyes holding the book of Seven Seals is surrounded by twenty-five elderly men arranged in a mandorla formation. The upper left-hand corner portrays an intense moment as a woman bathed in sunlight desperately protects her newborn child from a ferocious seven-headed dragon. Thankfully, an angel comes to their rescue and lifts the baby into the safety of the sky. At its center lies what appears to be four Knights of Apocalypse, possibly representing one of humanity's greatest challenges yet to come. This masterpiece beautifully captures elements such as ships sailing through vast seas and Saint John seated majestically donning his red cloak. Isenbrandt's skillful brushwork brings this Northern Renaissance piece to life while evoking profound emotions within viewers. As we gaze upon this extraordinary composition filled with symbolism and religious significance, we are transported back in time to witness these biblical events unfold before us once again.
