Saint John Composing "Revelation" on Patmos

Master H.G. (probably Hans Jamnitzer II)

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts various figures and elements. At the center, there is a seated human figure gesturing upwards. An angelic figure with wings and a robe is descending from above. There are multiple creatures below, one larger and more prominent. To the right is a tree, and swirls and cloud formations surround the lower portion. Detailed architectural structures can be seen in the background. The metal sculpture is predominantly gray with intricate detailing, creating depth and texture. The patina enhances the visual intricacy of the scene portrayed.
