The Battle between the Horsemen and the Beast; Dyson Perrins Apocalypse, about 1255-1260. Additional Info:The seven-headed beast that resembles a leopard returns to the story and makes its final stand against the forces of heaven. The man on the charging white stallion confronts the beast and is usually understood as Christ. The shields of his opponents bear the image of a horned and hook-nosed demon, as opposed to his own Christian cross. The way the soldier on his charging white horse dominates the miniature and crowds the armies of the beast into the right corner assures the viewer of Christ's ultimate victory. Quote Text: And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies united in making war with him who sat on the horse and with his army.(Apocalypse 19:19).
