Español: La visión de San Juan: grabado de M. Masson

Un grabado en blanco y negro muestra a un santo anciano y barbado arrodillado en una orilla rocosa a la derecha, escribiendo o mirando hacia arriba. Una gran figura alada y musculosa, con un disco solar radiante tras la cabeza, se alza sobre el mar, mientras dos querubines sostienen una cinta arriba.
