Woman of the Apocalypse

Woman of the Apocalypse
by an unknown German master
1390s
Oak, 32 x 20 cm
Staatliche Museen, Berlin

This Madonna is known as the Woman of the Apocalypse because she's stamping on a moon and a smiley-face sun.

Zoom in on Mary's weird dead hand holding her freaky skinny baby. Definitely apocalyptic.
