Abstract (en)

Analyzes the evolution of the heavenly vision in European Medieval art and exegeses, 9th-14th cs. Focuses on the commentaries on and representations of visions of the Apocalypse. Finds that the emphasis on the visionary element began in the 12th c., and continued to increase in the 13th-14th cs.
