UNKNOWN MASTER, Italian
(active 1330s in Naples)

Scenes from the Apocalypse

1330s
Tempera on poplar, 35 x 86 cm
Staatsgalerie, Stuttgart

This is one of two panels executed shortly before the middle of the fourteenth century in Naples, probably within the context of the Anjou court. It would appear that the Anjou had a special interest in the subject of the Apocalypse.

On the panels the scenes are arranged as separate "islands."
