A picture belonging to the prestigious book III Millennium, published worldwide and translated into many different languages. This book marked a change in Royo’s sense of aesthetics, as he ventures into a decadent future in which his figures become more lyrical and the compositions become more complex, thus creating one of his most distinctive works. The winged beings that appear are different and individual, with metal wings either full of mechanisms or organic and leather-like. This personal view of the end of the millennium has also been carried over to a number of different media.
"I saw an angel coming down from heaven, bringing the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. He took the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. He threw it into the abyss and closed and he put on a stamp to avoid the nations astray until the thousand years were ended, after which he will be released for a short time"
