The Apocalypse after Schnorr von Carolsfeld
Mounted figures and falling bodies crowd a landscape beneath angels and a great circular vision. Weapons and intersecting gestures carry the movement across the densely packed scene. The printed caption identifies the Christian world dispensation according to St. John the Divine and credits the reproduction to Schnorr von Carolsfeld.
