Biography
Tura shows us this Saint John lying down and meditating, treated with his characteristic dry style and precise draughtsmanship. The Apocalypsis was written on the island of Patmos, represented here with a bleak landscape, the symbol of the cryptic and terrifying message of the text that closes the New Testament.
