Summary edit
| Description |
English: Ottoman army besieging a city, in a fresco at Sucevița Monastery, Romania; part of a class of paintings illustrating Book of Revelation Chapter 11, but unrelated to the text and presumably added to enhance notions of the End of Days being imminent. The event shown may be the 1529 battle of Vienna, with Suleiman the Magnificent appearing in the foreground. See details in Ilie Melniciuc, "Saint John's Revelation in the Painting from Sucevița Monastery", European Journal of Science and Theology, Vol.10, Issue 1, 2014, pp. 279–281 |
