“Anti-Christ” (1942) by Arthur SzykPolish-Jewish artist Arthur Szyk’s image of Adolf Hitler, with skulls reflected in his eyes and the words Vae Victis (Latin for “woe to the vanquished (ones)”) in his black hair. The detailed watercolor and gouache painting is filled with figures and war imagery: uniformed Nazi soldiers, men in manacles, a field of skulls, and a skeleton with a banner with a line from a National Socialist song: “heute gehört uns Deutschland / morgen die ganze Welt” [today Germany is ours, tomorrow the whole world]. -- source link
