DescriptionIllustration of Plague and Death encircling the Earth.jpg
English: This is an allegorical pencil illustration drawn by Spencer Alexander McDaniel in April 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic was at its height. The illustration portrays the Greek god Apollon as the personification of plague, surrounded by SARS-CoV-2 and holding a golden bow, shooting his arrows of pestilence upon the Earth.
In the upper right hand corner is a representation of Death in the form of a skeleton in a black shroud clutching a scythe. Along the right side of the illustration, below Death, are three vignettes of a man dying of COVID-19, a coffin, and a gravestone. This drawing draws inspiration from works of Hellenistic and Neoclassical art.
