The Apocalypse: The Dragon with Two Horns and the Beast with Seven

Jean Duvet

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a detailed black and white illustration of a chaotic scene. A large crowd of people in robes and armor is gathered around a bearded man on the left and a dragon with two horns on the right. The dragon has a long tail, wings, and sharp teeth. It appears to be standing on a pile of rubble. A man with a sword and a shield is standing to the left of the dragon. In the background, there are buildings and a cityscape. The top of the image shows a semi-circle of people and clouds. The scene appears to be a depiction of the apocalypse. The illustration is framed by an archway and has a small inscription at the bottom. The overall style of the illustration suggests it was created in the Renaissance period.
