About this work
God the Father appears, surrounded by cherubim, in the sky at the Tower of Babel. He causes a confusion of tongues, so that people can no longer understand each other. The people around the tower flee in all directions. Some of them flee on an elephant and on camels. In the foreground Nimrod and other men look on in alarm. Below the image a text in Latin. Print is part of an album.
