Description:

A man with a skull-like face rides on horseback with a young woman behind him. She clings to him as they travel through eerie landscapes with skeletons and torture scenes. The horse blows flames through its nostrils while crossing a bridge.

Lenore is a poem by Gottfried August Bürger, which was influential in the Romantic era.
