A guide to the topic of the Apocalypse in world art — from the perception of the end of the world to iconography at different times. You will learn how ideas about the Apocalypse have changed: from the Middle Ages to the present day.

The Revelation of John the Theologian, or the Apocalypse, is the most famous prophecy about the end of the world in our culture. Its mysterious and frightening images have always attracted artists and have given rise to many great works. But it is difficult for the modern viewer to understand what exactly he sees in paintings, frescoes and pages of medieval manuscripts.

This book is a visual guide to the images and interpretations of the Apocalypse in world and Russian art. From the birth of Christianity to the 20th century, you will see how the perception of this amazing text has changed as the world and art itself have changed.
