Description

An angel with red garments unwraps a scroll, symbolizing the sky with the personifications of the sun and the moon having stars around them. A burning red the everlasting fire springs from the left side of the podium of Jesus towards the Hell. on his way carries away several humans, depicted with black outlines. The main stream of the burning river ends to the lower right part of the Composition, where the Master of the Darkness is seated. He is depicted as a naked, frontal monstrous creature with a grey-coloured naked, hairy body, with spider's wings, two brown horns on his head with a serpent on them and a tall hat. With his both hand, he holds a human body, maybe Judas. This peculiar dragon is seated on the back of a grey, two-headed dog-shaped monster.
