The Battle between the Gods and the Giants

Nude giants with spears and tree trunks fight beneath winged and armored gods who hover in dark, stormy clouds above. A figure in a blue cloak and red sash, seen from behind, strides forward among fallen bodies on a rocky, mountainous landscape.

Español: La batalla entre los dioses y los gigantes

Gigantes desnudos con lanzas y troncos luchan bajo dioses alados y con armadura que flotan en nubes oscuras y tormentosas. Una figura con capa azul y faja roja, vista de espaldas, avanza entre cuerpos caídos en un paisaje rocoso y montañoso.

Português: A batalha entre os deuses e os gigantes

Gigantes nus com lanças e troncos lutam sob deuses alados e armados, que pairam em nuvens escuras e tempestuosas. Uma figura com manto azul e faixa vermelha, vista de costas, avança entre corpos caídos em uma paisagem rochosa e montanhosa.
