The doctors of the church consulting books and documents and contemplating the Virgin who is shown above in heaven, flanked by angels, after Reni 1785

This 1785 engraving by William Sharp, titled "The Doctors of the Church Consulting Books and Documents and Contemplating the Virgin Who Is Shown Above in Heaven, Flanked by Angels, after Reni," is a copy of Guido Reni's painting. The print depicts four Church Fathers studying religious texts and looking up at a vision of the Virgin Mary and angels above. The print's detailed and realistic style, typical of Sharp's work, captures Reni's original composition with precision. This print, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is an example of the continued appreciation for Reni's iconic work during the 18th century.
