The Rider on the Pale Horse: Death's March in the Apocalypse RE983109

This tapestry presents a striking and ominous scene, likely depicting the biblical figure of Death as one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. On the left, Saint John stands solemnly, observing the grim spectacle. At the center, an altar displays souls in torment, while above, an angel holds a divine instrument. To the right, a skeletal figure, representing Death, rides a pale horse through a sparse landscape, flanked by barren trees. The rich red background intensifies the sense of dread and finality conveyed in this apocalyptic vision.
