The Beast and the False Prophet Cast into the Fire

At the right, a crowned, haloed figure on a white horse wears a white robe splattered with blood and holds a long spear tipped with a red cross. He points toward the left, where a vibrant red, winged demon with a monstrous face and clawed feet shoves a group of naked, pale figures toward a yawning, jagged Hellmouth. The Hellmouth is depicted as a giant, toothy maw surrounded by intense orange and yellow flames that engulf the souls within. The palette is dominated by deep blues, blood-reds, and bright whites, executed in the style of a medieval manuscript illumination with intricate line work.

This illumination directly illustrates the eschatological conclusion of the Book of Revelation (19:20), which describes the Beast and the False Prophet being thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. It reflects the intense visual culture of the medieval Apocalypse tradition, which synthesized biblical text with contemporary fears of judgment and the infernal.
