On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 304

تُمثّل المخطوطات المُصوّرة لبياتوس التي تفرّدت بها إسبانيا في العصر الوسيط شهادة على الأوساط الفنية والفكرية في الثقافة الرهبانية هنالك. وهي تُحيي رؤيا نهاية العالم كما دوّنها القديس يوحنّا في سفر الرؤيا وبعد أن غربلها حسب وجهة نظره بياتوس دو ليابانا، الراهب الأستوري الذي عاش في القرن الثامن الميلادي. وفي الرسم الوارد هنا تبدو الأحداث التي تنبّأ بها بوق الملاك الخامس مرعبة بقدر ما هي تنتمي للعالم الآخر: يُغطّي الدخان المنبثق من البئر أشعة الشمس، ويلدغ الجراد المخطط المخيف ضحاياه بأذناب تشبه العقارب، ومن لا يموت يطلب الشفقة. تأتي هذه الورقة من مخطوط جرى تفكيكه في سبعينات القرن التاسع عشر الميلادي.
