This is a detail from a larger series of engravings by Jean Duvet, known as the “Apocalypse.” This work, titled “A Star Falls and makes Hell Open, from the Apocalypse”, is an intricate representation of the Book of Revelation. It features a chaotic scene with Christ enthroned at the top, and a depiction of hell with a fiery inferno and tormented souls below. Duvet's distinctive style, characterized by intense detail and powerful imagery, creates a sense of awe and dread, reflecting the apocalyptic themes of the work.
