About this work

This print shows a big, bearded man holding up a banner with words like *"Vox Dei"* at the top. Around him are smaller pictures of kings, soldiers, and faces. Some figures look scared or sad, while others hold weapons or crowns. The whole scene is packed into a triangular shape with lots of text scrolling around the edges. The big man looks like a voice from above, judging or guiding the smaller scenes below. The mix of kings, soldiers, and faces might mean this is about power and religion. Want to know more?
