Scene from the Apocalypse (1829)
Francis Danby (1793-1861)
Imagine you are standing under a vast dark sky and the stars above you have been swallowed up by a whirlwind of cosmic forces. Francis Danby's painting "Scene from the Apocalypse" will transport you to a world on the brink of collapse.
The painting captures the moment when the giant angel described in the biblical book of Revelation descends from heaven. The angel is not just a figure in the distance, he towers over the scene, his feet like pillars of fire, his head crowned with a rainbow, shrouded in clouds. Does this sight inspire awe or fear? It makes you question the power of divine intervention.
