The Rich Man Being Carried Away by the Devil

after Heinrich Aldegrever

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of fantastical creatures in a rocky landscape. Various mythical and grotesque creatures are depicted engaged in different activities. Two horned, humanoid figures with fur on their legs stand near a cliff on the right side. Below them, a beastly creature with a humanoid form but an animalistic head crouches and wields an axe-like tool. A winged being is shown flying above, carrying another figure. The background shows a distant landscape with a castle-like structure on a hill and a tree in the foreground rocks. The scene has a dark and otherworldly atmosphere reminiscent of Hieronymus Bosch's style.
