About this work

Female personification of the Church sits on a triumphal chariot with a monstrance in her hands, an angel holds a tiara above her head. In the procession angels glorify the Eucharist or Holy Communion with palm branches and blow trumpets. Satan and his followers are crushed under the wheels of the chariot. This is the right sheet of two separate prints which form a whole.
