Artist name: Unknown artist

God as the anthropomorphic Logos holds a cloud of darkness in one hand and a tripartite bright globe in the other on the background of a heavenly city wall. Six angels applaud his creation from both sides. Beneath him lies monstrous Lucifer, flanked by six demons who fall with their heads upside down.
