Angels stand over a burning city in this engraving, a scene that the board's Jerusalem setting points toward but that the record does not tie to a specific event. Biblical sieges and their divine judgments were a favorite subject for European printmakers, who used them to dramatize the wrath of God against a faithless people. Prints like this one circulated widely in illustrated Bibles and devotional books, where the fiery city often stood in for Jerusalem itself. Look closely at the contrast between the dark smoke and the bright, otherworldly figures, which shows how engravers used line density to create drama.
