In a wide-angle, low-angle shot, a gloomy gothic hall is filled with a crowd of terrified merchants peering into missals and a gathering of executioners seeking a blessing. At the center stands the Executioner Majesty, a formidable knight wearing a vivid red cape that contrasts with the dark surroundings. Facing the crowd is a priest-devil serving mass, whose stole is a hangman's noose and who hides a bottle of vitriol beneath a purple chasuble. The scene is set within a cavernous stone hall with soaring ribbed vaults and oppressive shadows. Heavy mortars emit thick clouds of sulfurous smoke that swirl toward the red cape of the knight. The lighting is dim and moody, dominated by deep purples and oppressive greys, with a sickly glow illuminating the sulfurous fumes. The atmosphere is macabre, ritualistic, and filled with dread.
