Getty Apocalypse (Ms. Ludwig III 1 (83.MC.72))
The Getty Apocalypse is an illuminated manuscript of the Book of Revelation, produced in England around 1255 for a patron who commissioned richly decorated devotional texts. Its framed miniatures show scenes of angels, a dragon, and apocalyptic visions set above Latin text in red and black ink. A designer could draw on its boxed scenes, dense initial letters, and flat gold-and-jewel colour for medieval-style framing devices.
