With the end of the millennium fast approaching, the strange and wonderful imagery in Revelations: Art of the Apocalypse will prove irresistible to skeptics and believers alike.

Revelations brings together visionary images by some of the greatest artists of Western culture, including Fra Angelico, William Blake, Hieronymous Bosch, Michelangelo, Raphael, Peter Paul Rubens, Luca Signorelli, and J.M.W. Turner as well as modern Outsider artists such as the ever-popular Howard Finster. A concise but illuminating introduction explores the sources, symbolism, and meanings of the biblical Book of Revelation, followed by six chapters devoted to the imagery of the Apocalypse, encompassing illuminated manuscripts, paintings and frescoes, sculpture, stained glass, tapestries, and mosaics from nearly 2,000 years, interwoven with biblical quotes.
