Job hears the bad news from messengers

Job hears from three messengers about the calamity that has befallen him. In the doorway stands his wife, holding a handkerchief to her face. In the landscape, Job's livestock and camels are stolen, his shepherds and livestock are killed by lightning, and the house in the city on the left, where Job's children were holding a feast, collapses in the storm. In the sky, the tetragrammaton appears as a symbol of God the Father and the heavenly beings making their appearance. Below the image, a Latin reference to the biblical text in Job 1.
