About this work

This painting is packed with bright colors and lots of figures. At the center, a man with a golden halo sits on a red throne, holding a cross. Around him, angels and saints float in the sky, dressed in flowing robes. Below, a dragon spits out people from its mouth, while others stand near a small building.
