About this work

The Virgin Mary stands on the moon with the Christ Child in her arms. Under the moon, a dragon. Mary wears a crown with stars and holds a scepter in her hand. Above her, the Holy Spirit as a dove with the sun on the left and the moon on the right. Centrally at the top, God the Father with the crucified Christ. Around Mary, angels, apostles, martyrs, and saints. At the bottom right of the print, spiritual power with the Pope, cardinals, and bishops. On the left, temporal power with the Emperor, kings, and sovereigns. In the center at the bottom, hellfire.
