Depicts an aerial battle against the covid, imagined as flying saint george on a steed in the shape of a cicada or flying insect, over a biblical landscape, apocalyptic as in the times of sodom, gomorrah or babylon, changing the pandemic situation for the better i lit up the sky and i didn't burn sodom and gormorrah and i didn't bring down the tower of babel in the painting. By "in the german way" i mean the way in which i painted and illuminated the picture, thinking about the battle of the 10,000 knights of altdorfer and many other excellent german painters, who have always accompanied me with their images" this piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
