The image depicts a mesmerizing apparition of golden-clad cavalry hovering above the ancient city of Jerusalem. Created by an anonymous European School artist, this print is part of a series of Bible illustrations published by Pierre Mariette in Paris. The composition exudes a sense of awe and wonder as celestial forces merge with earthly realms. The black and white contrast adds depth and intensity to the intricate details, emphasizing the ethereal nature of this heavenly encounter. The biblical reference to 2 Maccabees 5 further enriches our understanding, connecting this vision to religious narratives.
