Can you find Joe!?
Hey you can get this on Net Flix:

I was trying to find the 15th card from the Durer Tarot deck, the real one. No luck. The interweb thingy is not quite up to speed.
Blessing to you,

That would be The Revelation of St John: 11. St. Michael Fighting the Dragon (c.1498, the 11th in that series of 15 woodcuts). Sorry, I didn't see that you had posted, being happily entrenched in research I was doing for your post just prior... And unfortunately, I don't have time to do it again for this one, not that it would be necessary, since the woodcut in its entirety could easily be interpreted as Joe struggling with his demons. Demon Alcohol, Demon Cigarettes, Demon Women, Demon Temper, Demon American Educational System, Demon Smartass Students, Demon Liver-Bellied Liberals, Demon Tennis Ball or Golf Ball, etc. etc...

Actually, I was thinking of Joe as Satan and the virtuous Knight resisting the temptations of his calls to the weakness of vanity, the destiny of the Knight's "unique potential" that only Joe (Satan) can unlock. As a Mormon friend of mine says, " you're unique, just like every one else."

He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me.

Is this the image you were looking for? Unfortunately, It is not too big, hard to make out details...

Re. The Seventh Seal (your link):
--- Quote ---Gerald Mast writes,
“Like the gravedigger in “Hamlet”, the Squire [...] treats death as a bitter and hopeless joke. Since we all play chess with death, and since we all must suffer through that hopeless joke, the only question about the game is how long it will last and how well we will play it. To play it well, to live, is to love and not to hate the body and the mortal as the Church urges in Bergman's metaphor.”[2]
