The Apocalypse: A Star Falls and Makes Hell to Open

Jean Duvet

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts an arched scene with many human figures. A central figure with long hair and a beard sits on a cloth-covered box or table with an inscription. A rectangular stone-like object with writing on it reads "HIT CAP : ET : ADOC". The central figure has their arms raised. The figure appears to be surrounded by a dense crowd of people, some of whom are dressed in robes. Others are shirtless or wearing armor. Some figures are on the ground while others are standing. Creatures with animal features are present. The scene below appears to depict chaos as people are wrestling or fighting. One individual is on all fours. Many of the figures have dramatic expressions on their faces. The image has a border around it and appears to be a black-and-white drawing or engraving.
