This anonymous etching from the 17th century depicts a dramatic scene of the Christian Church under attack by devils. In the center, a figure sits enthroned, likely representing Christ, surrounded by angels and worshippers. Above, God and the Holy Spirit are depicted in a heavenly sphere, sending down divine rays to protect the church from the demonic forces below. The composition, filled with intricate details and dramatic figures, is typical of the Baroque style. This piece is a powerful visual representation of the struggle between good and evil, reflecting a prevalent religious theme of the time.
