With its many miniatures and with its bright, varied palette and its lavish use of polished gold, the Trinity College Apocalypse is one of the most magnificent 13th-century English apocalypse manuscript. The illuminations were painted by four different miniaturists whose repertoire betrays strong influences from monumental painting.
The miniatures on folio 7r illustrates the Revelation of St John (6, 12ff above and 7 below).
