This is a hand-colored woodcut print from 1577 depicting a celestial phenomenon over Vienna, Austria. The scene is dominated by two large, triangular columns of light extending from the sun and moon towards the city. These columns are striped with alternating red and white sections. The city of Vienna is spread out below, with numerous buildings, towers, and churches visible. A river winds through the city, and there are trees and green spaces interspersed among the buildings. A crowd of people is gathered in the foreground, seemingly observing the celestial event. The sky is filled with clouds, and the sun and moon are depicted as radiant orbs. The landscape surrounding the city includes hills and a bridge. Above the scene, there is text in Latin, likely describing the event and dedicating it to a noble figure. The print is framed by a decorative border, and there are labels identifying various locations within the city. The style of the print is typical of the late 16th century, with a focus on detail and a somewhat stylized representation of the landscape and figures.
