About this work
An angel stands in the midst of the sun and calls to the birds. The heavenly army, led by a rider with a papal mitre and a sword in his mouth, fights against the earthly army. The beast perishes in a pool of fire. Below the image a Latin reference to the biblical text in Revelation 19. This print is part of an album.
