The Triumph of Eternity

Georg Pencz

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a celestial gathering. The image depicts a scene with divine figures and symbolic animals among clouds, with a cityscape below. The central figure stands with a banner, surrounded by other robed and seated figures. Various animals, including a lion and a lamb, are shown alongside celestial beings like angels holding trumpets or gesturing. In the background, clouds separate the heavenly assembly from the earthly cityscape at the bottom. The detailed figures convey movement and themes of divinity and judgement.
