MEDIEVAL APOCALYPSE ART STUDIES
Inspired by illuminated manuscript works of the middle ages, this unfolding body of work from Shane Feazell seeks to capture the unsettling imagery of ancient Christian apocalyptic illustrations.
This is the first piece from the Medieval Apocalypse Art Studies series by Shane Feazell and FireSign Studios.
Harvest of the Self Righteous is inspired specifically by details from the Saint-Sever Beatus (11th century). It features the First Horseman setting out to conquer the minds of the masses. Note the faded American stripes blinding the horse, as well as the would-be “saints” conforming with the horseman in self-agrandizing lockstep.

Blood of the Saints is inspired specifically by details from the Saint-Sever Beatus (11th century). It features the “Great Harlot” or “Mystery Babylon” riding the Great Beast, “drunk on the blood of the saints”. Note the wounded head of the Beast, the trampled victims and the burning city.
