The Last Judgment and the Binding of Satan

At the top, Christ is enthroned within a golden mandorla, wearing a crown of thorns and holding a sword between his teeth, with blood visible on his side and feet. He is flanked by the Virgin Mary and John the Baptist, who hold open books and are surrounded by praying saints. In the lower section, an angel with large wings descends, holding a heavy iron chain attached to a monstrous red dragon standing before the entrance to a dark cave. Nearby, a group of armed knights in 15th-century plate armor surround a fortified tower, while a hellmouth filled with fire consumes or emerges near human figures who are shown naked and rising from the earth. The background is a deep blue field scattered with golden stars.

This illumination is based on the Book of Revelation (Chapter 20), specifically depicting the binding of Satan for a thousand years and the general resurrection of the dead. It reflects late medieval Flemish apocalyptic theology, emphasizing the final triumph of Christ over the forces of the Antichrist.
