"They thunder forth from their clouds about gentleness and forbearance, while they sacrifice human victims to the God of love." ("Da donnern sie Sanftmut und Duldung aus ihren Wolken und bringen dem Gott der Liebe Menschenopfer.") 1921 - 1922

"They thunder forth from their clouds about gentleness and forbearance, while they sacrifice human victims to the God of love." ("Da donnern sie Sanftmut und Duldung aus ihren Wolken und bringen dem Gott der Liebe Menschenopfer."), created by German artist George Grosz in 1921–1922, is a satirical drawing that critiques the hypocrisy of the church and the horrors of war. The work depicts a clergyman nailed to a cross, mirroring the crucifixion of Christ, while dead soldiers litter the ground below. The stark black and white lines and grotesque imagery contribute to the artwork's harsh critique of war and religion, reflecting Grosz's critical stance on the political and social issues of the era.
