Gabriël verschijnt aan Zacharias 1728

Gilliam van der Gouwen’s 1728 engraving, "Gabriël verschijnt aan Zacharias," depicts the biblical story of the angel Gabriel appearing to Zacharias, a priest who is serving in the temple. The scene is set within the temple, where Zacharias stands in awe, while Gabriel, in a dramatic pose, points to the heavens. This print is a fine example of the Dutch Baroque style, known for its dramatic lighting and use of detail. The print was created for a wider audience and serves as a visual testament to a well-known biblical story.
