Légende
Saint John on Patmos; Hours of Simon de Varie, 1455. Additional Info:Seated among rugged hills, Saint John concentrates on writing the Apocalypse. The surrounding water identifies his location as the island of Patmos, where he wrote the Apocalypse after the Emperor Domitian exiled him for spreading the teachings of Christ. The greens of the island landscape and the blue waters inhabited by delicate swans form a strong contrast to the saint's luminous white robes. This image of Saint John writing accompanies a portion of his gospel, a standard element in a book of hours.
