About this work

Terrors preceding the Last Judgment. The sun is darkened, the moon gives no more light, the stars fall from the heaven and the heavenly powers waver. In the heaven appears the sign that announces the coming of the Son of Man. All tribes on earth beat their breasts at the sight of this sign of dismay. Letters are placed at various elements of the composition. The print is part of an album.
