The Apocalypse: The Beast with Seven Heads and Ten Horns

Jean Duvet

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white engraving of a chaotic scene. A large beast with seven heads and ten horns is at the center. The beast has a mix of animal and human-like features, with snakes for hair and sharp teeth. The beast is surrounded by people running in various directions. Some are on the ground. A few people are fighting back with swords. There are also angels flying above the scene, some holding swords or shields. The background shows a cityscape with buildings and a body of water. The engraving has an arched top and a beige border around it. A small inscription is in the bottom-left corner.
