Vision of the Apocalypse, also known as The Revelation of John the Evangelist, is a tempera painting by Thomas Bathas.
The magnificent icon is on the Greek island of Patmos inside the Cave of the Apocalypse.
The mysterious site is believed by Christians[1][2] to mark the spot where John of Patmos received his visions that he recorded in the Book of Revelation.
[6] Above the mysterious sleeping apostle, John of Patmos is in a glorious scene depicting his revelation.
Seven candles and seven angles represent the seven cities: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamon, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.
Thomas Bathas clearly identifies various body parts or items of clothing while creating beautiful patterns.
The bright red, pink, white, and green colors suggest the artist implemented the cangiante style.
In 1995, the Hellenic Republic featured the iconic image on a stamp that circulated throughout the country.
