“And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider’s name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.”

'“scorched, barren earth, devoid of any life as far as the eye can see.” is how James Snyder,(Northern Renaissance Art: Painting, Sculpture, the Graphic Arts from 1350 to 1575) described the painting.

'Alien: Covenant’s homage to Eisenstein’s revolutionary editing techniques used in the filming of Battleship Potemkin, the silent film’s scene resulted in an un-precedentedly horrifying and stunning spectacle, charged with political meaning.

These same methods were used to film the scene of the pathogen drop, alternating between David’s view of the city and the view of the ship from below where the Engineers gathered.'
