This 1590 engraving by the Monogrammist PM depicts the "Attack on the Tower of Faith and the Coming of the Antichrist." The scene is filled with figures, both human and monstrous, in a complex composition that reflects the anxieties of the era. A towering rock with a lighthouse serves as a symbolic representation of faith, while the approaching Antichrist is depicted as a demonic army. This artwork, characteristic of the Northern Renaissance printmaking style, engages with religious themes of good versus evil. The inscription in French, "La Tour de Vive Foi, Iapee en vain par les fopots de l'Antichrist," further underscores the struggle between faith and the forces of evil.
