The Triumph of Eternity

About this work

This engraving shows a dramatic scene with a half-naked man standing on a cloud, holding a staff and a shield. Around him, a crowd of people—some angry, some scared—gathers on a rocky shore. Below, a ship sinks while angels and demons swirl in the sky. The lines are sharp and busy, creating a sense of movement and chaos. The man on the cloud looks like he’s in charge, maybe representing time or fate. The Latin text at the bottom hints at deeper meaning, but it’s hard to read. Want to see more like this?
