Description | Dies Irae by Raphael Kirchner |
Details |
An unusual subject for Raphael Kirchner, better known for his alluring pin-ups of the Great War period known as the Kirchner Girls. In a scene reminiscent of Dante, Kaiser Wilhelm II is pictured in a blood soaked ermine cape standing on the edge of a precipice to hell while his outraged and mutilated victims shriek their denunciations.
